Mid-terms and final exam
Three Exams,
each counting 20%,
Final: includes all chapters,
counting 40%
The final exam is comprehensive
for the semester and is drawn almost entirely from the exams.
A student can miss
one exam for any reason. Its corresponding 20% is added on to
the 40% for the final.
For those of you who have taken
all the exams, I will automatically give you the better of
the two cases: 1) normal 3X20% + 40% or
2) drop the lowest exam
and 2X20% + 60%.
Since the final repeats much of
the semester, almost every student has benefited from case 2 over the years.

Final exam, when Dr. Burke interupts once again, but to take a picture... James, in the back, eyes straight ahead! |
The chapter contents in the Second Semester are too variable to give a timetable. Here are some guidelines:
Grades:
Study time: A minimum of three hours in problem
solving and reading per hour of lecture are needed for a good grade.
That means a minimum of 9 hours in an environment without distraction.
You should schedule these hours for during the week and stick to the
schedule. You be the boss.
I highly suggest that you form study groups. Don't form a group
only from "A" or from "B" students. Try to include students with a range
of grades from first year chemistry or those who have not had chemistry
for a while. One of the best ways of learning a subject is to teach
it. Remember, without a "curve" there is no set number of A's or B's, etc.
You can help yourself while helping others.
Talk amongst yourselves about successful (and unsuccessful) strategies
that you have discovered for learning. Specific items that seem to help
in Organic Chemistry are flash cards with reagents on one side and products
on the other. If after 15 minutes you still can't find a solution to a
problem, leave it for class or recitation. Don't spend hours of your precious
time when you can get help elsewhere.
Model kits available in the bookstore are very helpful with Stereochemistry
(Ch5).
Skills that you need immediately from first year Chemistry:
A webpage with the complete IUPAC
naming rules for organic compounds.
1) Download and bring to class at least two chapters of notes in case I finish one chapter in class.
2) Exams are given on the second day after finishing chapters 17, 19, or 21.
90-100 A
85-89 B+
80-84 B
75-79 C+
70-74 C
60-69 D
0-59 F
It is essential that you be able to be able to draw proper Lewis
structures (1-4 and 1-5, pages 7-10). This will allow you to draw resonance
structures (1-9, page 14-17). The PROBLEM SOLVING HINTS on pages 16 and
17 will help. Also see the appendix 4A, page 1218-1220.
