Web Page: http://wweb.uta.edu/faculty/pomerant/courses/Courses.html There will be 4 hourly tests in addition to a final exam, which will be comprehensive (See #10 below for Scantron Test Form requirement). For all of the tests you will be allowed to use a set of molecular models and the spectra sheets (IR and NMR) which will be distributed in class provided nothing has been written on them. Only 3 hourly tests will be counted. There will be no make-up tests. If you miss a test you will receive a zero unless you have a suitable medical excuse which includes a doctor's note. There are Handouts for Chapters 12 and 13 (IR and NMR spectroscopy) on the course web page. Grading: Each hourly exam counts 22% and the final exam 34% toward your grade. Sample problems assigned from the text are on the course web site. They will not be collected. *The following are very important and will help you do well in the course. 1)

The course material in Chem. 2322 builds on that in Chem 2321. Thus you will be expected to have a good working knowledge of the material in Chem. 2321.

2)

Since you will be expected to put together in a synthetic sequence the reactions you have learned (including reactions from Chem. 2321), it is important when doing an organic synthesis to remember the following: a) Work backwards. b) Decide on a strategy for building up the carbon skeleton from the smaller fragments you are given. c) Be able to interconvert all functional groups.

3)

Always read ahead! If you have not read the material before you come to class you will be at a distinct disadvantage. I will omit or go over quickly some of the more obvious things.

4)

Work all the assigned sample problems and then work all other problems at the end of the chapter. When you finish those I will be happy to give you additional ones. Remember – the tests will consist of new problems many of which you have not seen before and so the working of new problems will allow you to determine whether or not you have learned the material.

5)

As was the case with Chem. 2321, you should be prepared to put in at least 2-3 hours of study time for each hour of lecture. There are no shortcuts! If you are not willing to work hard and put in the time you should consider taking an easier course.

6)

As was the case with Chem. 2321, each topic builds on many of the topics that were covered previously. Thus for each test you will be expected to know not only the material covered for that

Page 3— Chemistry 2322-002 test but reactions and concepts from previous chapters. For each test the emphasis will be on the material assigned for that particular test but some knowledge of previous material will be required. 7)

You are strongly advised to obtain and use a set of molecular models.

8)

My office is Room 205 Chemistry Research Building. Please see me if you are having problems with the course. My office hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 11:00 – 11:30 am, and by appointment.

Please note the following dates: April 1

Last day to drop a course.

May 11

Final Exam, 5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. – Wednesday

9)

The goal of the course is to learn Organic Chemistry and to become proficient in learning a large body of information by remembering key facts, recognizing similarities and analogies and then reasoning by analogy and using deductive reasoning.

10) For the exams (except the Final Exam) you will require a Scantron Mini Essay Book Number 886-E which has a place for writing out answers and for answering multiple choice questions, with nothing written in or on it, a number 2 pencil with eraser and a simple calculator (without memory). 11) Sample test questions for tests 1-4, taken from some of my old tests, are available on my web site at: http://www2.uta.edu/Pomerantz/courses.html. The answers will be available there several days before the exams. 12) Drop for non-payment of tuition If you are dropped from this class for non-payment of tuition, you may secure an Enrollment Loan through the Bursar's Office. You may not continue to attend class until your Enrollment Loan has been applied to outstanding tuition fees. 13) Students enrolling in a course with the intention of replacing a previous grade earned in the same course must declare their intention to do so at the registrars office by Census Date of the semester in which they are enrolled. 14) Academic Dishonesty

• • • • •

All students are expected to pursue their scholastic careers with honesty and integrity. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Academic dishonesty includes (but is not limited to) cheating, falsification of data, plagiarism, and contracting/collusion with others to take your test or do your work. Cheating is the use or acquisition of information (data, constants, formulas, textual material, etc.) from either unauthorized sources or in an unauthorized manner. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to: exchanging information during a test or quiz. looking at another student's paper during a test or quiz. bringing information other than personal knowledge and what is allowed by the instructor into the test or quiz. This includes written notes (crib sheets) and digitally stored information (formulas, constants, textual, etc.). looking at a book or other unauthorized source during the test except as authorized by the instructor. accessing information by any electronic means (cellular phones, pagers, radios, etc.).

Page 4 — Chemistry 2322-002 • processing data or information in an unauthorized manner using a programmable calculator or computer. In other words, unless you have received authorization, you are not permitted to use any computer program. This includes specialty computers or calculators in which the "programming" is built into the computer. You are permitted to use simple calculators in which arithmetic, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions are preprogrammed. In the event that test proctors decide that a student is cheating, the following actions will be taken: • the student will be notified and, if the situation merits, asked to explain their actions. • the source of the unauthorized information will be removed during the remainder of the test period and returned to the student following the test, if appropriate. • the student may be asked to move to a different location to complete the test. • calculator/computer memory will be cleared of stored information and programs as appropriate. In some cases the proctor will need to examine temporarily the calculator/computer to verify unauthorized use. The calculator will be returned to the student to permit the student to finish the test. • a record of the events and actions surrounding the alleged act of cheating will be submitted to the Associate Vice Provost for Student Affairs for further action. See the Undergraduate Catalog for further information. 15) Bomb Threat Policy In the event of a bomb threat to a specific facility, University Police will evaluate the threat. If required, exams may be moved to an alternate location, but they will not be postponed. UTArlington will prosecute those phoning in bomb threats to the fullest extent of the law.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------• Americans with Disabilities Act In an effort to be certain that students with documented disabilities are reasonably accommodated, I would like to ask your cooperation in informing me of any legitimate needs you may have in this course. Your need for this request will be verified through the appropriate University office to be certain the best accommodation is provided for your particular disability as it relates to this course. It is important for you to understand that this document will be held in the strictest confidence and will not be kept with any of your permanent student records.
