COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course offers an introduction to organic chemistry. The material covers basic organic compounds, their nomenclature, structure and introduction to functional groups. A variety of organic molecules used in day to day lives and in the industry are discussed on the basis of their reactivity and properties. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: (a) To provide a through understanding of complex organic molecules in terms of their structure, reactivity and real-life applications. (b) By a combination of labs and lecture, to get an hands on experience in organic chemistry and it's applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. (c) A thorough understanding of all functional groups, their reactions, mechanisms. Functional groups to include hydrocarbons, alcohols, SN1 and SN2 reactions, ethers, sulfides, organometallic reagents. (d) Proficiency in nomenclature, spectroscopy, synthesis, reactions and mechanisms of the above functional groups. (e) Ability to perform techniques in modern organic chemistry.

INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES AND METHODS: The instructor's lecture will be accompanied by molecular models, power point presentations and overhead slides as and when needed. Class participation is highly encouraged. Grading Scheme A: 90-100 B: 80-89 C: 70-79 D: 60-69 F: below 60 Evaluation of Students Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam 3 Quizzes Comprehensive Final Exam Labs 100 points 100 points 100 points 100 points 200 points 120 points - [ 96 pts (labs) + 24 pts (lab final)]

Note: In addition to the regular in-chapter and back of Chapter homework exercises, you will be assigned additional homeworks through the OWL homework system. These homeworks will not be part of your grade, but completion of the homeworks are critical to your passing of the course, as exams and quizzes will be styled after the assigned homeworks. COURSE POLICY: If any student is found to be disruptive in class or lab he/she will be asked to leave immediately and will not be allowed back in the class/lab without seeing me in my office first. Attendance is compulsory. It is the students responsibility to notify the instructor of any special needs and assistance that the student might have. If you are deaf or have a documented disability and need accommodations for this class, please see me as soon as possible or contact the Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS) office for assistance. The DSPS office is located in Building 7, Room 7217. Call (510)659-6271 (voice) or (510)344-5701 (video phone). For more information, go to www.ohlone.edu/org/dsps/accommodationsguidelines.html All exams must be taken as scheduled. No make up exams will be given. However in case of an emergency if a student has to miss an exam or quiz, then her/his marks will be made up from the final exam (in case of a missed mid-term) or from the next hour exam (in case of a missed quiz). A student may miss a grand total of only one quiz or one exam. Subsequent absences will result in zeros in quizzes or exams missed. However, in all instances, written and verifiable proof such as doctor's certificate etc. will be required. LAB POLICY: You will be given a lab safety sheet with all rules and regulations that you are required to follow in lab. Any lab safety/rules violation will result in you being expelled from the lab and consequently a zero grade for that lab. There will be no make up labs. Labs missed will result in a zero for that lab. There will be few labs in the schedule which dont require a lab report to be turned in and therefore do carry a grade. These labs are preparatory labs either for the lecture or subsequent labs and therefore are mandatory. In case you fail to attend such a lab, 5 points will be deducted from your overall lab points. The prelab will be checked in the first 5 minutes of the lab. If your prelab is not ready at this point, it results

in a deduction of 3 points off your lab report. Prelabs are to be done in a lab notebook that I have authorized. Prelabs on loose sheets of paper are not accepted and also result in a deduction of 3 points Lab reports are due a week after the lab is finished and at the start of the lab. If the lab report is not turned in at the beginning of the lab period it is considered late. A late lab report results in the deduction of 3 points (per each day late) off the lab report . Attendance is taken at the beginning of lab. If you are late by more than 10 minutes for the lab, you will not be allowed in the lab and will get a zero for the entire lab. You MAY NOT leave the lab even for a single minute while the lab is in progress. Abandoning the lab will result in your being expelled from the lab and a zero for that lab. Cell phones will not be allowed in the lab. Talking on cell phones in the lab will result in the same penalty as abandoning the lab. Attendance in the Friday lab lecture is mandatory. You must have your lab text book in the Friday lab lecture. Failure to attend the lab lecture or failure to show up in the lab lecture without the lab textbook will result in your dismissal from the actual lab. . ATTENDANCE: You are expected to attend all classes and labs. It is wise to inform the instructor of illness or other circumstances that lead to absence of more than a day or two. You may be dropped by an instructor at any time for nine cumulative hours of absence from lectures and/or labs. Any student who has been absent for 2 labs (six hours) will automatically be dropped from the class. If this occurs after the W deadline has passed, the student will receive an F in the course. Remember, if you decide to drop, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to file a drop card with the Office of Admissions and Records. If this is not done, you may be carried in the class till the end of the semester and receive an "F" grade. ACADEMIC HONESTY: Pursue your coursework with integrity and honesty. Academic dishonesty is a serious matter. If you are caught cheating, Ohlone College initiates a process which may result in severe consequences for you. Cheating includes copying answers on tests and data in labs. If you observe an incident of academic dishonesty in class, I urge you to report it to me. The college policy on academic honesty may be found in the Ohlone College Course Catalogue and Student handbook. There is a zero tolerance policy on cheating as a university wide rule. Students caught cheating in a quiz or an exam will not only get a zero for that quiz/exam, but will get a zero for the entire segment of that course. For example, if you are caught cheating in Exam 1, you will get a zero for Exam 1 and also a zero for the entire segment, meaning a zero for ALL exams. The same applies to quizzes and lab reports. Plagiarism/copying is a serious offence in lab reports. If you are caught cheating from another student or plagiarizing on lab reports, then you and your partner (that was involved in copying/cheating on the lab report) will not only receive a zero for that particular lab, but a zero for the entire lab grade. STUDENT CONDUCT Show mature conduct in your courses. Turn off the ringing mode on pagers and cellular phones. Do not engage in private conversations or in inappropriate behavior during lectures or labs. If you do behave in a manner that seems disruptive to me or to other students, I will ask you to stop. If such behavior persists, I will ask you to leave the class. I have the right to suspend you from my class if your behavior is disruptive. Information on student behavior and the Ohlone College suspension policy is available from the office of the Vice President of Student Services.
