Recommended for students majoring in chemistry. CHM 25600: 3 credits. Prerequisite: CHM 25500 or e quivalent.

Recommended for biology majors. COURSE DESCRIPTION: The second semester of a one y ear course in organic chemistry, the chemistry of carbon compounds. The course will involve a blend of experimental facts (reactions and properties) and basic theories of chemical bond ing, and reactivities, with emphasis on comprehension, understanding, and applications of m olecular behavior. Our basic goal will be to understand, within the constraints of our time limi ts how and why organic molecules behave the way they do, where they occur and why they are impo rtant to us.

You must not fall behind! The material is cumulative and comprehensive. Due dates are nonnegotiable.

1. Suggested Plan of Attack This course is broken into Units. Assignments in e ach Unit should be attacked in the following order: 1. Learn Smart Assignments; 2. Problem Sets; 3. Quizzes. You have 3 weeks to complete the Unit (See schedule for due dates.). If you fin ish the Learn Smart and Problem Sets by the end of the second week, then you have the third week to complete the quizzes. DO NOT fall behind! Poor prior planning on your part will NOT get you m ore time! Due dates are NON- NEGOTIABLE. 2. Getting Help: Course Material For questions regarding the material covered in the course, please use the discussion boards. The discussion boards are arranged by unit and chapter. This will give you the opportunity to interact with other students in the course. If you know the answer to a posted question, ANSWER IT! One of the best ways to learn something is to expla in it to someone else. I will monitor the boards and provide conformations/corrections to responses posted. To encourage student interaction, I will delay my response for 24 hours to provide oppo rtunities for others to respond.

3. Getting Help: Technical Issues There are many places you can go to get help when y ou experience technical or course-related difficulties. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ask for and get the help you need as soon as possible. Do not be afraid to ask me about any ques tions or problems you may have at any time. I am here to help you and want you to succeed. For specific technical support for Blackboard Learn , you can contact me using the contact information above (if you cannot access the Blackbo ard Learn mail tool) or contact the Office of Instructional Technology at [email protected] or ca ll 219-989-2873. Technical issues with Learn Smart & Connect should be reported to McGraw-Hill Tech Support at 1-800-331-5094. I will not talk to you about th e issue unless you have a case number.

OrgChem 2 Page 3 of 5 4. Getting Help: Private Issues related to course Excessive e-mails make unreasonable time demands on both sender and recipient. Please ensure you have a legitimate need before you write. The be st way to contact me is through the “Send Email” tool in Blackboard Learn. I am happy to answ er questions about feedback for a graded assignment and private issues appropriate for discu ssion within the teacher-student relationship. 5. Participation Expectations What I expect from you: You are expected to login to Blackboard and check the course site at least three times per week. Whenever you login, you should always check the course announcements and discussion boards. You are also e xpected to access the McGraw Hill site through Blackboard. By doing this, the two sites will be in “sync” and all of your scores will appear in the Blackboard gradebook. Since I will also use your pnw.edu email address to communicate with you, you are expected to check your pnw.edu email account at least four time s per week. What you can expect from me: I will check the course site and email daily durin g the week (typically multiple times per day) and at least onc e over the weekend. I will respond to questions and other communications within 48 hours (though ty pically much quicker). Email communication must be sent from your pnw.edu email account, or through Blackboard. Emails originating from other email addresses will be igno red.

6. Online discussions This course makes extensive use of online discussio ns for clearing up confusion regarding course material. At all times, please keep three words in mind: Professional, Meaningful, and Decent.

Students are expected to write in a PROFESSIONAL ma nner. This means that we do not talk as if we are texting our friends. When participating i n class discussions, it is important to make contributions MEANINGFUL. Try to avoid making “me t oo” comments or offering up generic platitudes that do not add value to the discussion at hand. Try to move the discussion forward by asking intelligent questions and bringing facts, lo gic, and course material to the table. While it is okay (even good!) to disagree with one another, you must always do so respectfully and back up your opinions with supporting evidence. As always, please keep in mind that there is a real live person on the other end of the conversation. Treat everyone with whom you interact with DECENCY. Hot tempers, foul language, and abusive or threatening language will not be tolerated.

All communications should follow standard writing c onventions and be free of grammar and spelling errors. 7. Definition of Civility Purdue University Northwest places a priority on st udent learning. We value the inherent worth and dignity of every person, thereby fostering a co mmunity of mutual respect. We believe that in OrgChem 2 Page 4 of 5 order to achieve these ideals, all Purdue Universit y Northwest students are expected, while in the role as student or representative of the university , to exhibit and practice civil behaviors, defined as behaviors that:

1. Respect faculty, staff, fellow students, guests, an d all university property, policies, rules and regulations 2. Take responsibility for one’s choices and actions 3. Accept consequences of one’s inappropriate choices and actions 4. Communicate in a professional and courteous manner 8. Other Policies All matters of cheating and academic dishonesty wil l be referred to the Dean of Students. Students who do not complete the required work and do not in stitute proper withdrawal procedures will be given a grade of F at the end of the semester. Honor Pledge to which all Purdue University Northwe st Students must adhere: “I understand that academic dishonesty will not be tolerated at P urdue University Northwest. I am here to learn. Through learning, I will strive to become a better person and a more valuable contributor to society. I understand that dishonesty in the classroom, through cheating, plagiarism or other dishonest acts, defeats this purpose and disgraces the mission and quality of a Purdue University Northwest education. Therefore, I make the followi ng pledge: ‘In accordance with the honor code, I will not engage in dishonesty in my academi c activities, and I will not tolerate such dishonesty by other students.’” Students with Disabilities: Students who may need accommodations due to disabil ity should contact the Office of Disability Resources (ODR) to discuss specific needs. The ODR is located on the third floor of the Student Union & Library Building, Room 341. If accommodations for a student are approved by that office, the student must provide his/her instructor with a copy of the official accommodations letter as soon as it is rec eived in order to obtain accommodations. Students may contact the Office of DisabilityResources by calling (219) 989- 2455 or emailing [email protected] . Emergency Preparedness: An information sheet, with instructions for various types of possible emergencies, is posted in each room on campus. The se possibilities include criminal activity, fire, medical emergencies, and noises sounding like gunshots. Students are strongly encouraged to review this instruction sheet carefully and acquaint themselves with these important guidelines.
