COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This course is a continuation of Organic
Chemistry I, with an emphasis on organic chemical reactions,
structures, and mechanisms.

REQUIREMENTS:  Class attendance and participation are expected
and will be reflected in test and quiz grades.  There will be NO
make-up quizzes and NO make-up laboratory sessions.  Test and
quiz material will be drawn from lecture notes and assignments,
typically textbook problems.
 
HOMEWORK:  The instructor will provide a list of minimum
assignments.  Those wishing to master the subject should work as
many of the problems in the text as possible.  Anyone having
difficulty with the course should immediately start a problem
notebook, keep it up to date, and bring it along when asking for
help.  As assignments may be collected in lieu of quizzes,
homework is to accompany its author to class.
 
GRADING:  The course grade will be based on lecture (75%) and
laboratory (25%) performance.  The lecture grade will be
determined by three one-hour tests (300 points), twenty quizzes
(200 points), and a comprehensive final exam (250 points).  There
will be at least twenty-three quizzes, with the scores for the
best twenty counted toward the final grade.  That is, there will
be a quiz almost every day.
