Organic Chemistry III CHEM 239A, Autumn 2014 MWF, 9:30 am - 10:20 am, Condon Hall (CDH) 109 Instructor: Dr. Champak Chatterjee, CHB 204K Course webpage: Canvas Email: [email protected] (Type Chem239A as the subject of your email) Office hours: Mon, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm CHB 204K Tues, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm CHB 204K And by prior appointment (contact Dr. Chatterjee by email) TAs: Nicholas Senger ([email protected]) and Patrick Shelton ([email protected]) TA Office Hours: Organic Study Center, please email the TAs for specific times. Required Texts: Francis A. Carey, Robert M. Giuliano Organic Chemistry, 9th Edition, McGraw Hill, 2013. The 8th Edition is perfectly fine if you have it already. Recommended Texts: Neil T. Allison, Robert M. Giuliano, Robert C. Atkins, Francis A. Carey Student Solutions Manual to accompany Organic Chemistry, 9th Edition, McGraw Hill, 2013. Attendance: Exams will be based on concepts from the book, experimental demonstrations, and additional examples presented in the lectures. Attending lectures is strongly encouraged. Limitations of Videocasting Lectures: Our lectures may be videocast if supported by UW IT for our classroom. This does not guarantee against equipment malfunction. There is no backup hardware and any failure in the video/audio device means that the information will not be available online. Please do not rely on the promise of lecture capture technology and try to attend lectures and take notes. If you would like to request academic accommodations due to a disability, please contact Disability Resources for Students, 448 Schmitz, 206-543-8924 (V) or 206-543-8925 (TTY). If you have a letter from Disability Resources for Students indicating you have a disability that requires academic accommodations, please present the letter to Dr. Paul Miller (BAG 303D) or to me to discuss accommodations you might need for this class. Grading: There are no make-up exams or make-up homework for this class. Dates for midterms and final exams cannot be changed and exams cannot be administered early/later. Homework 45 points (Online, 11.25 % of grade) Midterm #1 100 points (60 minutes, 25 % of grade) Midterm #2 100 points (60 minutes, 25 % of grade) Final Exam 155 points (90 minutes, 38.75 % of grade) Your overall grade will be determined from a maximum of 400 points. The class average for CHEM 239A is set at 2.6 ± 0.2. Whether it is set at 2.4 or 2.8 will depend on average performance of the entire class. In the past I have set it at 2.7 or 2.8. Missing Homework Deadlines: The Dept. of Chemistry has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to late submissions. You are responsible for ensuring all homework is submitted on time. I will not entertain any emails regarding late submission or non-submission. If you have a legitimate concern please discuss this with Dr. Paul Miller. If he agrees with you he will email me and the missing homework will be given the average score from your other homework assignments. There is no make-up homework or extra credit in this class to make-up performance. Page 1 of 3 Missing Exams: There will be no make-up or rescheduled exams. If you are absent from the final examination and have a validated reason, you will be given an incomplete (I) for the course and will have to take the 239A final in the next quarter to pass the course. In the event of an unavoidable absence, the reason for the absence will need to be approved by Dr Paul Miller (Bagley 303D). The correct protocol for reporting absence from an exam is: 1. Personally report your absence within 72 hours to Dr. Paul Miller in Bagley 303D. 2. Bring proof to Dr. Miller of your dire circumstance such as a doctor’s note, an accident report, or other supporting documents. Your documentation must include names and full contact information for verification. 3. Dr. Miller will notify me regarding the status of your absence. If your absence is determined to be excusable, the weight of your final exam will be increased proportionately toward calculating the course grade. If your absence does not meet the criteria for an unavoidable absence and is determined inexcusable, you will be given a zero for that exam. Graded Homework (Quizzes 1 to 9): Graded homework will be assigned online through CATALYST and will be automatically graded. There will be 9 homework sets worth 5 points each (45 points total). The purpose of graded homework is to make sure that you regularly read the material taught in class and avoid having to cram information before exams. Note: Homework must be submitted within 120 hours (5 days) from when it was assigned. You must save or print the confirmation page after submitting a Quiz or there is no proof that you took the quiz if it does not register. Problem Sets: Problem Sets are posted on Canvas. The goal of the problem sets is (1) To help you to identify any gaps in your understanding of a topic, and (2) To get an idea of the kind of questions to expect in an exam. This portion of the homework is not graded but the problems may be repeated in exams and should definitely be attempted. How to do well in 239A: Solve all Textbook in-chapter problems. Attempt to independently solve the problems at the end of each book chapter before referring to the solutions manual. Ask questions in class and take notes. Solve the posted practice problems to get an idea of what to expect in exams. Utilize TA and instructor office hours to ask questions. Discuss with your classmates. Do not wait until exam time to ask questions. I cannot help you to pass CHEM 239 in the last week before the final. Please come to me early if you are struggling in the class. If you have struggled to pass CHEM 237/CHEM 238, you will most likely struggle to pass CHEM 239 unless you change your learning strategy and actively seek assistance. Re-grades: Your exams will be photocopied by the TAs before being returned to you. Any evidence of tampering will be dealt with strictly as per university policies. If you decide that there was an error in grading, resubmit your entire exam to your TAs within one week of when it was first returned to the class. Clearly indicate your name, the page number(s) and type of error(s). However, bear in mind that the entire exam will be re-graded, so you could either gain or lose net points. Do not request re-grades resulting in less than 4 point increments, since this is less than 1% of the total grade points and not a meaningful use of TA time. The signed form below must be attached to your exam when you submit it for a re-grade. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please regrade question(s) ___________________________ Please check addition on page(s) _______________question(s) ___________________ I understand that my exam may have been photocopied before it was returned to me. I certify that I have not altered anything on my exam after it was returned. I understand that if I am found to have altered anything on my exam, I will receive a zero on the complete exam.
