OTHER SUPPLIES TO BE PURCHASED: A Molecular Model Set (Molymod) (available at Ryerson Bookstore or Indigo Instruments) is recommended for people who have trouble visualizing 30dimentional structures. EVALUATION: A VALID RYERSON I.D. CARD (ONE CARD) IS REQUIRED TO WRITE ALL QUIZZES AND THE FINAL EXAM – NO EXCUSES. The final mark for this course is calculated as follows: Lab component: 9 of 11 in-classes quizzes1: Final Exam: TOTAL

There will be 11 in-class quizzes during the semester. Only your TOP 9 quizzes of the 11 quizzes will be counted towards your final grade. Students missing any quiz, FOR ANY REASON, will get a mark of zero for the missed quiz. THERE ARE NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES FOR A QUIZ THAT YOU MISSED. Final grades will be determined using the performance designations for the Faculty of Science found in the current Ryerson University Undergraduate Program Calendar. NOTES: 1. Term Tests: Grades for the term tests (quizzes) will be returned in class during the semester. Students are permitted to keep the graded papers. Each quiz will be ~30 minutes in length. Quiz Dates and Time: The beginning of the class (covering material from previous week). Students writing quizzes/final exam in the Access Centre are required to write their tests during the same time period as the rest of the class (with consideration of appropriate accommodations) and are responsible for booking their own Access Centre times. COURSE MANAGEMENT: read the posted information on the course website for the course management information. Missed Final Examination: Students who miss the final examination due to medical reasons or compassionate reason, must submit the pertinent documentation (Ryerson medical certificate/note from funeral director) to the Chemistry and Biology Departmental Office (KHN212) for the attention of the course instructor within three (3) working days of the missed examination. Students should ensure that all medical certificates are date-stamped by office staff. If the documentation is acceptable, a supplementary examination will be scheduled within the remaining examination period, or if this has ended, as soon as possible before the deadline for the instructor to submit course grades. Details of the University examination policy can be found at www.ryerson.ca/acadcouncil/current/pol135.pdf. Academic Consideration: You must inform the instructor as soon as possible of any situation which arises during the semester that is likely to have an adverse effect on your academic performance. Any necessary consideration must be requested according to policies and well in advance. Failure to do so will jeopardize any academic appeals. Access Centre: if you have existing Access Centre accommodations, you should meet with the instructor at the beginning of the course to discuss your needs. If you register with the Access Centre during the semester, you must speak to the instructor as soon as your needs are identified. Religious Observance Policy: If you will require religious accommodation, you must obtain and complete the official request form (see http://www.ryerson.ca/currentstudents/forms/). Withdrawal from the course: If you wish to officially withdraw from this course with no academic penalty, you must do so by the withdrawal deadline.

Academic Integrity Policy: Plagiarism and/or cheating are unacceptable. Details of the students Code of Academic Conduct are provided at www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol60.pdf. If you are unsure of what is acceptable, you should consult with the instructor. See also www.ryerson.ca/academicintegrity. Course Management Policy: Refer to http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/polcies/pol145.pdf for complete details. Department Academic and Course Management Policies: The Department of Chemistry and Biology has policies on group work, academic integrity, course variation, lecture attendance, laboratory/tutorial attendance, class participation, accommodation of students with disabilities, student e-mails, and non-academic conduct. These policies apply to all students enrolled in courses offered by the Department, faculty, staff and teaching assistants. You should be familiar with them. The policies are in the Student Handbook, available online at http://www.ryerson.ca/cab/.

Advice to students taking Organic Chemistry Most students find organic chemistry to be very demanding. You are encouraged to review each lecture as it is presented to make sure that you understand the material covered. Only then can you begin to apply the material and THEN memorize it. In addition to the lecture notes you should read the material in the textbook. You should try the problems given in the textbook on each topic. Also, a problem set will be given on each topic for students to practice. You must appreciate the nature of this course – the ability to understand a lecture depends on the material covered in previous lectures. It is therefore important to understand this material on a lecture-by-lecture basis. Obviously, attendance at lectures is essential and continual review of lecture material is important if you want to do well in this course. There are a large number of term tests which will help you to learn the material as we go along. Students should be reading the chapters as we go along BEFORE an individual topic is discussed in lecture. It is impossible to “cram” for this course a few days before a test or examination. You are encouraged to study the material by writing it out – it cannot be learned simply by reading your notes. The problems in the textbook/problem set will help you to do this.
