1002 Gilman Hall

Textbook: Organic Chemistry, 2nd Edition, by David Klein. Blackboard Learn: https://bb.its.iastate.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp We will be using Blackboard Learn for this course. Lecture notes, previous exams, grades, and class announcements will be posted in Blackboard. Online Homework: We will use the online homework system called Wiley Plus (see Instructions for use at end of syllabus). You may buy the access code at the bookstore. To get a better grade in this course and to understand the material, you are expected to spend at least 6 hours per week studying the materials and doing homework/End-ofChapter problems. The pre-lecture questions must be completed before the lecture on the topic and other homework questions are due within 1 week after the lecture. Any requests for extension of the homework deadline must be sent to the head TA ([email protected]) three days before the due date to be considered. The Wiley+ scores will be converted on the scale of 0–50 in the grade calculation. Grading: The course grade will be based on the three best 100-point exam scores plus the final exam score and homework (maximum total = 500 points). The lowest score on a 100-point exam or a missed hour exam will be automatically dropped. Missing an exam for any reason will result in that exam being dropped. Cheating on an exam will earn a zero for that exam, which cannot be dropped. Your grade may be curved based on the performance of the class, with the class average at the end of the semester roughly corresponding to the B/C cutoff. Since an exam will be dropped, it is not possible to tell you exactly where you stand grade-wise until all exam and homework grades have been submitted. Any errors in points or grades posted on the Blackboard should be addressed to Mr. Alan Medina-Gonzalez within a week from the date posted. It is your responsibility to monitor your score in Blackboard. Exams: In addition to the Final Exam (150 pts), there will be four in-class exams (100 pts each) on the following days: September 11 (Monday), October 2 (Monday), October 27 (Friday), and December 4 (Monday). THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS. Any re-grades on an exam must be requested within one week after receiving the graded exam. Mark the questions you request regrade on the cover page and briefly explain the issue. Turn the exam to Ms. Patricia Augustin (1608 Gilman Hall) and she will pass it on to the head TA. The head TA generally looks over the entire exam to correct any mistakes in grading. Missing an exam for any reason will result in that exam being dropped. The reason that I drop an exam is that it allows you to miss an exam for a personal or family emergency (such as an illness, a death in the family, car troubles, etc), or for other legitimate cause without suffering a grade penalty. Relationship to Tues/Thurs section (taught by Prof. Art Winter): The course content/text will be the same. Exams will be different and grade assignments will be independent. However, you are welcome to attend Dr. Winter’s class to make up a lecture you missed.

This includes, but is not limited to: copying or sharing answers on tests or assignments, plagiarism, and having someone else do your academic work. Depending on the act, a student could receive an F grade on the test/assignment, F grade for the course, and could be suspended or expelled from the University. See the Conduct Code at www.dso.iastate.edu/ja for more details and a full explanation of the Academic Misconduct policies. Disability Accommodation Iowa State University complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Sect 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. If you have a disability and anticipate needing accommodations in this course, please contact (instructor name) to set up a meeting within the first two weeks of the semester or as soon as you become aware of your need. Before meeting with Dr. Zhao, you will need to obtain a SAAR form with recommendations for accommodations from the Disability Resources Office, located in Room 1076 on the main floor of the Student Services Building. Their telephone number is 515-294-7220 or email [email protected] . Retroactive requests for accommodations will not be honored. For any special exam accommodations, turn the SAAR form to Ms. Patricia Augustin (1608 Gilman Hall) to set it up. Dead Week This class follows the Iowa State University Dead Week policy as noted in section 10.6.4 of the Faculty Handbook http://www.provost.iastate.edu/resources/faculty-handbook . Harassment and Discrimination Iowa State University strives to maintain our campus as a place of work and study for faculty, staff, and students that is free of all forms of prohibited discrimination and harassment based upon race, ethnicity, sex (including sexual assault), pregnancy, color, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, or status as a U.S. veteran. Any student who has concerns about such behavior should contact his/her instructor, Student Assistance at 515-294-1020 or email [email protected], or the Office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance at 515-294-7612. Religious Accommodation If an academic or work requirement conflicts with your religious practices and/or observances, you may request reasonable accommodations. Your request must be in writing, and your instructor or supervisor will review the request. You or your instructor may also seek assistance from the Dean of Students Office or the Office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance. Contact Information If you are experiencing, or have experienced, a problem with any of the above issues, email [email protected]. Organic Help Hours: Organic teaching assistants will be available in 1221 Hach Hall to help with questions related to lab and lecture material. Please use these help hours. Co-requisite: Chem 331 is a CO-REQUISITE for Chem 331L. Drops and Audits: Students taking Chem 331L will be required to drop the lab if they drop or decided to audit Chem 331 lecture course. Auditing does not count towards full-time student status. For signing your drop slip, please see Pat Augustin in 1608 Gilman Hall. 2

Course Expectations: A large amount of new material will be covered in this course and it is extremely important that you keep up. You should read the appropriate chapter before the lecture covering that material in order to more easily follow the discussion. Also, do not cut classes and you will miss the connections between lectures. Work on the end-of-chapter problems for your own benefit. The answers to those problems are available in the Study Guide & Solutions Manual. It is strongly advised that you work as many problems as you can to do well in this course. The three most important tips for doing well in this class: 1. Read the book chapter and work the in-chapter problems prior to coming to class. This is an effective use of your time because you will get more out of lecture if you have read ahead. 2. Work all of the online homework following lecture (attend SI sessions or form a study group!). 3. Don’t fall behind, as it is nearly impossible to catch up! Learning Objectives: Organic chemistry is a challenging subject. You will be expected not only to learn factual information, but also to apply your newfound understanding to open-ended problems. You should not aim simply to memorize the material. Rather, you should try to make sense of trends so that you can make predictions in unfamiliar situations. Problems fall into Five major categories: Naming of Organic Compounds: You will learn about naming compounds which are cyclic or acyclic, alkanes, alkenes and alkynes with or without specifying stereochemical information such as R, S, E, Z, cis or trans. Structure and properties: Major topics in this area include the properties of functional groups (the key parts of organic molecules), conformational analysis (the study of how molecules fold in three dimensions), and stereochemistry (the study of molecules possessing mirror-imaged partners). Reactions and mechanisms: You will learn to predict the products of reactions, propose reagents for effecting desired reactions, and explain why reactions proceed the way they do. Organic synthesis: Using your understanding of reactions, you will propose methods for preparing target molecules through multi-step reaction sequences. Structure determination: Using your understanding of organic chemistry, you will deduce the structures of unknown compounds by analyzing their properties under a variety of condition
