Office Hours: I’ll be available most days after class and other times happily by appointment.

 

Texts:                         Organic Chemistry,  Solomons and Fryhle, 9th Edition, 2007.

                                    This text is bundled with a study guide/solutions manual.  Use it.

 

                                    The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual, Zubrick, 7th Edition.

 

                                   

 

Lab Notebook:  A bound lab notebook is required for the lab.  The bookstore has blue ones.

 

 

Calculator:  An inexpensive scientific calculator is required for this course and lab.  Learn how to use it before your tests!

 

 

Model Kit:  Model kits are optional.  Model kits are often helpful in visualizing 3D molecules.

 

 

General Description:  This second organic course will emphasize patterns of reactivity associated with various classes of compounds organized by functional group. This course plays a role in the larger purpose of Campbell University.  In particular Chemistry 228 will:

 

•Provide students with a Christian world view;

•Transfer from one generation to the next the vast body of knowledge and values accumulated over the ages;

•Encourage creativity, imagination, and rigor in the use of intellectual skills;

•Frame University teaching in the context of a liberal arts education seeking to free persons to live more abundantly and securely in an ever-changing social order;

•Foster stewardship in nurturing the gifts of the mind and in developing aesthetic sensibilities; and

•Equip students with superior vocational skills, productive insights, and professional integrity

 

Prerequisite:  A grade of C or better in CHEM 227 (or equivalent) is required.

 

Homework & Quizzes:  Homework will be assigned regularly. Short quizzes will be given in class.  These quizzes will not be given a grade, but will serve as an indicator of how well prepared you are for class. These are intended as a self-check!  It is to your advantage to do all homework.  Expect to spend at least two hours (for every hour in class) preparing for this course. 


Course Objectives:  Students successfully completing Chemistry 228 will demonstrate an understanding of:

 

• how spectroscopy is used to determine the identity, structure and quantity of organic compounds;

• physical properties, chemical properties, syntheses, and reactivity; of alcohols and ethers;

• organic oxidation and reduction reactions;

• conjugated pi systems;

• physical properties, chemical properties, and reactivity; of aromatic compounds;

• physical properties, chemical properties, and reactivity; of ketones and aldehydes;

• physical properties, chemical properties, and reactivity; of carboxylic acids and derivatives;

 

 

Density of Material in Summer School:  A summer school is 5 weeks while a regular semester is 14 weeks.  We move swiftly in the summer.  This means that you need to keep up with the reading and homework.  You have been warned. There will be time for relaxation after the course!

 

 

Attendance:  Attendance is required. According to university policy two (2) absences is considered the maximum number of “cuts" for this class. Three (3) cuts  results in an "F".

 

 

Grading for this course:

                        Tests (2)          50%

                        Laboratory       25%

                        Final Exam      25%

                                                100%

Grading is based on the 10 point scale (90% or better, A; 80-90, B; 70-80, C; 60-70, D; less than 60, F.)

 

 

Monday, July 7, is the last day to drop without receiving a grade.  According to university  policy, courses dropped after this date will receive a grade of WF (except for medical withdrawal).WF averages the same as F. 

 

 

Disabilities:  Students with documented disabilities who desire modifications or accommodations should contact the office of Student Support Services located in the University’s Hight House.

 

 

Honor:  All students are subject to the academic integrity and behavioral expectations of the University.


Laboratory:  Registration for lab is required in this course.  Labs will reinforce the material covered in class by "hands-on" experience. Regardless of your grade in lab or lecture, failure to attend lab and turn in required work will result in failure of the lab and the course.  You cannot receive credit for CHEM 228 without passing CHEM 228L laboratory.

 

 

Lab Grading:  There will be a total of 9 scores for lab:  eight from the lab reports, and one from your notebook.  Each score will be on a 5 point scale as shown below.  Your lab average will be computed from these scores.
