Relationship to Program

Chemistry 34202 is designed for the student pursuing a chemistry or biological/health related major at an upper division institution. As elective, student majoring in chemical, biological or environmental engineering should plan to take. The Science and Engineering Department offer this course. This course may be applicable to several programs. Consult your advisor and refer to the OCCC catalog, which contains authoritative information. If changes in procedures and requirements are necessary, the instructor will announce them. If in doubt about the proper chemistry course to take, consult with your advisor or with the department chair.

Course Objectives:

To learn to classify, name, and understand molecular structures and properties of functional groups and organic compounds.
To learn principles of reaction rate and mechanism in organic reactions.
To study techniques that exploring organic chemistry.
To build the foundation for learning industrial processes and biomolecules and living things.

GRADING SYSTEM:

The grading for this course will be determined as follows

Quizzes 20%

Test 1 10%

Test 2 10%

Test 3 10%

Final 20%

Lab. Work/Quizzes 30%

Attendance and Withdrawal:

Attendance is mandatory. Perfect attendance is assumed in this course. Without proper attendance a student will not do well in this course. To be successful in chemistry one must pay attention in lecture and conscientiously do the homework. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that she/he is doing well in the course. No make up quizzes are allowed for any reason. However, one quiz with the lowest grade will be dropped from the average.

Support Services:

Tutoring services are available in the Library. There is a study lounge available in Horton Hall, which is close to all the faculty offices. There are services available for students with disabilities. Any such conditions should be communicated privately to the instructor on the first day of class so that any necessary special arrangements or accommodations can be made.
