All problems should be solved, but they are not to be turned in. My self and the TAs are at your disposal during our office hours to discuss these homework problems and any other problems or questions you may have with this course. A minimum of 50% of the questions on the exams will be strongly based on these problems. Exams: Your mastery of this Organic Chemistry course will be determined by means of two hour-long exams and a compulsory final exam. No make-up exams are administered. Grading: The grading for the class is based on three 100pt exams. The final grade will be calculated out of 300 total points while the exam scores will be reweighted for each individual student based on their performance. The highest of their three exam scores will be weighted to 150pts while the lowest of the three scores will be weighted to 50pts. The middle exam score will remain unchanged out of 100. An exam missed for any reason will be considered the "lowest". No make-up exams are administered.
