Organic Chemistry I 2020-2021 Fall syllabus...

Description

Moorpark College Chemistry 7A – Fall 2020 Sections 70020, 70612, and 70837 Description: This 5 unit course focuses on molecular structure, chemical and physical properties, and the preparation and reactivity of organic molecules with an emphasis on reaction mechanisms, synthesis, structure determination, and applications. Laboratory experience involves using the appropriate methods, techniques, and instrumentation for the synthesis, purification, and identification of organic compounds discussed in the lecture portion. This is the first semester of a one-year course to fulfill the requirements of those majors requiring a year of organic chemistry. Students should have a recent working knowledge of Chemistry 1B (which is a prerequisite). A minimum grade of “C” is necessary in order to enroll in Chemistry 7B. Instructor:

Required Zoom Meetings: Tuesday / Thursday 8:30am – 9:45am https://cccconfer.zoom.us/j/8055534643

Resources: Students enrolled in this course are encouraged to use the Math Center (free tutoring for chemistry and math) and the Writing Center services to support their efforts in this class. More information: https://www.moorparkcollege.edu/departments/studentservices/the-teaching-and-learning-center Lecture and Lab Attendance: Although attendance will not be taken at the live Zoom meetings, consistent attendance is best for all students concerned. If a student wishes to drop the course, he or she must withdraw; it is not the instructor’s responsibility to drop any student. Students who have not dropped this class and have stopped attending will be assigned a letter grade of “F”. That said, a student may be dropped at the instructor’s discretion if a significant number of assignments are not submitted on time or if any test is missed without an excused absence, so you should contact the instructor as soon as you become aware that you will be missing any portion of the course. Reading and Homework: Reading the textbook is the best way to prepare for lecture and to enhance your learning. Solving textbook problems on a regular basis serves as a test of your understanding of the material – come to office hours with your questions! You will have one written assignment that is due every Tuesday at 3pm. You must complete this assignment using pen(cil) and (scratch) paper and then upload a scan or picture of your work as a jpg or pdf file. The first assignment is due August 25. New assignments will be unlocked each Tuesday at 3pm, so you will have seven days to complete each assignment. Grading: One grade will be assigned for Chemistry 7A. The grade will include both lecture and laboratory work. Grades will be assigned on the basis of an overall percentage of total points earned in both lecture and the laboratory. If you fail either the lecture or lab portion of the course, the highest grade you may earn is a “D”. Lecture:

6 Lecture Exams (60 points each) 360 points 16 Homework Assignments (10 points each) 160 points Final Examination (Cumulative) 80 points LECTURE TOTAL: 600 points

Lab:

15 Lab Assignments (20 points each) 300 points Lab Exam (100 points) 100 points LAB TOTAL: 400 points COURSE TOTAL POINTS: 1000 points

Grades will be assigned in conjunction with the following scale: 90 % – 100 % (A); 80 % – 89.5 % (B); 70 % – 79.5 % (C); 60 % – 69.5 % (D); below 60 % (F). This scale may be lowered slightly at the end of the semester, at the instructor’s discretion, but students are guaranteed the minimum grade defined by the scale above. There are no “W” grades given by the instructor; you must officially drop the course if you stop attending or risk receiving an automatic failure.

Exams: Exams (including the lab exam) will be administered periodically throughout the semester (see schedule for dates). There will be no make-up tests. You are required to take all tests including the cumulative final examination at the assigned time using Proctorio (which requires a webcam). Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis in the event of a verifiable documented emergency if you contact the instructor BEFORE the test (leave a voice mail message in an emergency). You will be tested on your ability to solve problems based on lecture notes and homework and workshop problems. Lecture exams will be cumulative (but will focus on new material). At the end of the semester, a comprehensive final examination will be administered on Thursday, December 10, 2020 from 8:30 am until 9:45 am. Workshops: Workshops (during live Zoom sessions) are designed to help you to further explore the material covered in the course. You should watch the lecture and then try the workshop before the Zoom session so that you are prepared to discuss your answers. Laboratory Procedure: There will be a weekly lab assignment due every Friday at 3pm. The first lab assignment is due August 21. There is no lab assignment due on November 27 (the day after Thanksgiving). New lab assignments will be unlocked each Friday at 3pm, so you will have seven days to complete each lab assignment. If you miss more than 3 labs, your grade will be lowered significantly. Important Note About Academic Dishonesty: Anyone found cheating will receive a grade of “F” with a notation of “Academic Dishonesty” added to your transcript and will also be recommended to the Dean for expulsion from the college. Students with Disabilities, whether physical, learning, or psychological, who believe they will need accommodations in this class, are encouraged to contact ACCESS as soon as possible so accommodations can be set up in a timely fashion. Accommodations are based on eligibility and can only be provided if you have submitted verification from ACCESS in the form of a Confidential Memo. The contact information for the ACCESS office can be found at: https://www.moorparkcollege.edu/departments/student-services/access Student Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students…  will understand how structure influences the function and reactivity of molecules. They will learn to visualize molecules and represent them in accepted forms.  will record and present the results of their experiments in several formats, perform the basic chemical techniques of organic chemistry, and conduct simple synthetic reactions in a safe and efficient fashion.  will demonstrate an understanding of organic structure by identifying and classifying specific structural characteristics of organic molecules containing multiple stereogenic centers, including absolute configuration of stereogenic centers, atomic orbital hybridizations, bond angles, functional groups, and stable chair and Newman conformations. Disclaimer: This syllabus is a guide for what is expected in sections 70020, 70612, and 70837 of Chemistry 7A for Fall 2020. Alterations may be made at the instruct or’s discretion.
