WHATCOM COMMUNITY COLLEGE COURSE INFORMATION FORM Please Note: Course Summary Form must accompany this form COURSE DETAILS COURSE NUMBER AND TITLE: CHEM 239: Organic Chemistry III (replaced with CHEM& 263 to match the current CCN for the Chemistry sequence) COURSE GOALS/OBJECTIVES: Chemistry 239 is the third course in a threequarter organic chemistry sequence for science, engineering and health field professionals needing a full year of organic chemistry. The primary goals are to develop the student’s ability to properly draw organic compounds, to explain physical and chemical properties of a selection of organic compounds and functional groups, to explain different reaction mechanisms and to apply these mechanisms in novel situations, and to determine the structure of a compound from spectral information. Laboratory work will allow students to learn the techniques peculiar to organic labs, to synthesize compounds using reactions learned in lecture, and to compare reactivities of similar compounds. The objectives of this course include an emphasis on Communication, Knowing and Thinking skills. Examinations and Laboratory Experiments will be used to assess the understanding students have acquired through various methods of communication. These methods include reading assignments from the text, exams, and laboratory work (handouts from the instructor and reports they have written). Problem solving skills and quantitative reasoning will be addressed in the laboratory setting as students collect, analyze, and interpret data. Exams will also give students the opportunity to apply these thinking skills. All aspects of the course (lecture, labs and exams) will give students the opportunity to gain knowledge. This knowledge will be incorporated and applied in laboratory reports and examinations.
