Course Description:
CHEM 3510 (lecture) and CHEM 3511 (lab) represent a single course and must be
taken concurrently. A course grade, determined using 75% lecture grade and 25%
lab grade, will be assigned at the end of the semester. Students who choose to
repeat organic lecture or lab will be required to repeat both as they represent
corequisites.
·
Lecture Course Description:
Study of functional groups (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, aromatic
compounds) and their reactions, structure determination, stereochemistry, and
spectroscopy.
·
Prerequisite: CH1120 or (1020 and 1840)
Co-requisite: CH3511
· Lecture Time: 10:10-11:05 am / 1:25-2:20 pm MWF - SSC E305

Lecture Texts:
McMurry, John "Organic Chemistry", 6th edition; Brooks/Cole Publishing
Co.: Belmont CA, 2004.
McMurry, Susan "Study Guide and Solutions Manual for McMurry's Organic
Chemistry", 6th edition; Brooks/Cole Publishing Co.: Belmont CA, 2004.
·
Other Required Materials:
Students need to purchase a hole punch (or three-hole punch) and a stapler for
assignments to be turned into the instructor for grading. In addition, students
are encouraged to purchase a set of molecular models from the bookstore. These
are invaluable for studying stereochemistry (Chapters 4 and 9) and will be
useful through the entire course of organic chemistry.
·
Objectives:
(1) To introduce the student to organic chemistry, including nomenclature,
reactions, mechanisms, stereochemistry, and spectroscopy.
(2) To provide the student with a firm foundation in organic chemistry such that
the student may pursue other areas of science.
(3) To help the student develop the necessary study habits which will be
required for advanced educational opportunities.
·
Topics to be Covered:
The first sixteen (16) chapters of McMurry's "Organic Chemistry" may
be covered. This is approximately one-half of the text which includes the study
of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons, dienes, alkyl
halides, stereochemistry, and organic spectroscopy. Organic spectroscopy
(chapters 12 and 13) will be covered in both lecture and lab time slots.
·
Out of Class Work:
Students are expected to read the text prior to class. All preparations,
reactions, and mechanisms should be thoroughly studied and understood
(self-prepared reaction/mechanism flash cards are extremely useful). Homework
assignments will be made throughout the semester. These assignments are made for
the student's benefit and indicate the type of material to be expected on the
hour exams. See Lecture-Text Problems.
·
Testing:
Four one-hour exams and a two hour final exam, all of which will be cumulative,
are tentatively scheduled as follows:
First Exam - September 20 - Wednesday
Second Exam - October 13 - Friday
Third Exam - November 8 - Wednesday
Fourth Exam - December 6 - Wednesday
Final Exam - 10:10 class - 10:30-12:30 - December 11 - Monday
Final Exam - 1:25 class - 1:30-3:30 - December 11 - Monday
There will be no make-up exams for unexcused absences; a grade of zero will be
recorded for that test. Make-up exams will only be considered for excused
absences*, however, the instructor must be notified of the proposed absence
before the scheduled examination. The make-up exam must be completed on the
first day the student returns to class. *Excused absences are at the
instructor's discretion. Students may be required to submit proof of their
excuse before a make-up exam will be administered.
A student may exempt the final examination if their four tests average a value
greater than or equal to 95.00. The extra credit work will not be used to
determine final exam exemption.
·
Extra Credit Work:
Students may choose to perform extra credit work, credit for which will be added
to their final grade. This work will be equivalent to, but does not replace, any
weekly or final exams (see Grading Scales ** below). Students must complete at
least 75% of the extra credit work to receive any credit, credit equivalent to
that which they submit; those who complete less than 75% credit on this work
will have no extra credit added to their grades. The extra credit work will
include a minimum of the following, although other materials may be added at the
instructor's discretion: daily outline of lecture text readings; daily rewriting
of lecture notes; daily completion of homework problems; chapter preparation of
study notecards, including definitions, scientists and their accomplishments
with pertinent dates, functional group identities, nomenclature rules,
reactions, mechanisms, and other assigned items. Students must submit the
information daily at the beginning of class (10:00 am / 1:25 pm); work submitted late will
not be accepted. Submitted items should be dated indicating the date of the work
(e.g. lecture date for lecture notes) and the submission date.
·
Grading Scales:
Lecture Grade
One-hour exams (80%) + Final exam (20%) = Lecture average (100%)

·
Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to be present and seated for all Chemistry 3510 classes by
10:10 am / 1:25 pm each day. A student who accumulates more than three (3) unexcused
absences will have their lecture grade decreased as follows:
4 to 5 unexcused absences = 1 letter grade decrease in lecture grade
6 to 7 unexcused absences = 2 letter grades decrease in lecture grade
8 to 9 unexcused absences = 3 letter grades decrease in lecture grade
>10 unexcused absences = 4 letter grades decrease in lecture grade

·
Educational Goals:
The general objective of the University is to produce educated men and women
equipped to use their abilities productively and wisely. The curricula of the
University are routes to intellectual maturity and means to be development of
ideas, insights, values, and competencies which form a permanent personal
capacity for thought and action. The University does not claim that it will
develop educated men or women. It does claim it will provide the opportunity and
the favorable conditions for students to construct their own education and to
acquire the means of making self-education the rewarding enterprise of a
lifetime, enabling them to become effective agents of social change.
Given this opportunity at the University in this course, each student should
develop, at an appropriate level:
(1) skills of inquiry, abstract and logical thinking, and critical analysis;
(2) literacy in writing, reading, listening, and speaking;
(3) the ability to understand and use numbers and statistics;
(4) an understanding of the scientific method;
(5) a concentration in a discipline in order to enter a chosen profession,
undertake advanced study, or develop an avocation.
These are the marks of an educated man or woman, and it is the aim of the
University to challenge and assist in their attainment. To this end Austin Peay
State University is committed to the integration of human learning functions and
to an orderly educational sequence.
·
Minor Policy:
According to APSU policy #3:032, minors (defined as those under the age of 18)
are not allowed in classrooms. While recognizing that extenuating circumstances
occur and make it difficult for some students to attend without bringing
children with them on occasion, University policy will be enforced and thus any
request for a child to attend lecture or lab classes will be denied. In
addition, be aware that minors are not allowed in academic labs, computer labs,
science labs, or the library. Further, children cannot be left in halls outside
classrooms. Please be aware that the policy on unattended minors is for the
purpose of ensuring that our classrooms are conducive to learning and for the
safety and protection of minors. For additional information on minors on campus,
contact the Office of Student Affairs in the Morgan University Center.
·
Alarms:
Class (lecture or lab) will be temporarily suspended during a building alarm and students
are expected to leave the building
in an orderly fashion; class will resume 5 minutes after the alarm ends and safe
return is allowed into the building. Class roll
will be called and any student who has not returned at that time will receive an
unexcused absence. If less than 10 minutes (according to classroom clock) of
class time is remaining at the alarm's end, class will be suspended for that
day; if in doubt, return to class.

Students need to purchase a hole punch (or three-hole punch) and a stapler for
assignments to be turned into the instructor for grading. In addition, students
are encouraged to purchase a set of molecular models from the bookstore. These
will be useful through the entire course of organic chemistry.
·
Objectives:
(1) To introduce the student to organic chemistry, including nomenclature,
reactions, mechanisms, stereochemistry, and spectroscopy.
(2) To provide the student with a firm foundation in organic chemistry such
that the student may pursue other areas of science.
(3) To help the student develop the necessary study habits which will be
required for advanced educational opportunities.
·
Topics to be Covered:
The remaining chapters of McMurry's "Organic Chemistry" may be
covered, including the study of alkyl halides, aromatic hydrocarbons, dienes,
alcohols and ethers, carbonyl and carboxyl compounds, carbohydrates, amines,
bioorganic species, stereochemistry, and organic spectroscopy.
·
Out of Class Work:
Students are expected to read the text prior to class. All preparations,
reactions, and mechanisms should be thoroughly studied and understood
(self-prepared reaction/mechanism flash cards are extremely useful). Homework
assignments will be made throughout the semester. These assignments are made
for the student's benefit and indicate the type of material to be expected on
the hour exams. See Lecture-Text Problems.
·
Testing:
Four one-hour exams and a two hour final exam, all of which will be cumulative,
are tentatively scheduled as follows:
First Exam - July 16 - Monday
Second Exam - July 23 - Monday
Third Exam - July 30 - Monday
Fourth Exam - August 6 - Monday
Final Exam - August 9 - Thursday
There will be no make-up exams for unexcused absences; a grade of zero will be
recorded for that test. Make-up exams will only be considered for excused
absences*, however, the instructor must be notified of the proposed absence
before the scheduled examination. The make-up exam must be completed on the first
day the student returns to class. *Excused absences are at the instructor's
discretion. Students may be required to submit proof of their excuse before a
make-up exam will be administered.
A student may exempt the final examination if their four tests average a value
greater than or equal to 95.00.
· Grading Scales:
Lecture Grade
One-hour exams (80%) + Final exam (20%) = Lecture average (100%)
Course Grade
Lecture grade (75%) + Lab grade (25%) = Course average (100%)
Letter Grade from Numerical Average
A>90.00, B>80.00, C>70.00, D>60.00,
F<60.00
·
Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to be present and seated for all Chemistry 3520 classes
by 8:00 am each day. A student who accumulates more than two (2) unexcused
absences will have their lecture grade decreased as follows:
3 unexcused absences = 1 letter grade decrease in lecture grade
4 unexcused absences = 2 letter grades decrease in lecture grade
5 unexcused absences = 3 letter grades decrease in lecture grade
6 unexcused absences = 4 letter grades decrease in lecture grade
Excessive excused absences will not be acceptable.
·
Classroom Behavior:
The classroom is expected to be a learning environment, therefore it is
expected that students will be quiet, attentive, and courteous. No food or
drink is allowed in class. Sleeping will not be tolerated and discussions
between students should be taken outside of the lecture classroom. Questions,
responses, and discussions should be directed to the instructor, not
classmates. Pagers, cell phones, or other electronic devices must be turned off
while students are in class.
·
Drop/Withdrawal Policy:
Students who choose to withdraw from organic lecture must also withdraw from
organic lab. Students must obtain the instructor's signature to withdraw from
CHEM 3520/3521 after the "APSU Automatic W Deadline" date.
APSU Automatic W - July 20 - Friday
APSU Mandatory F - July 27 - Friday
NOTE: Dr. Matthews will not be available after 4:30 pm, Thursday, July 19 nor
26.

Educational Goals:
The general objective of the University is to produce educated men and women
equipped to use their abilities productively and wisely. The curricula of the
University are routes to intellectual maturity and means to be development of
ideas, insights, values, and competencies which form a permanent personal
capacity for thought and action. The University does not claim that it will
develop educated men or women. It does claim it will provide the opportunity
and the favorable conditions for students to construct their own education and
to acquire the means of making self-education the rewarding enterprise of a
lifetime, enabling them to become effective agents of social change.
Given this opportunity at the University in this course, each student should
develop, at an appropriate level:
(1) skills of inquiry, abstract and logical thinking, and critical analysis;
(2) literacy in writing, reading, listening, and speaking;
(3) the ability to understand and use numbers and statistics;
(4) an understanding of the scientific method;
(5) a concentration in a discipline in order to enter a chosen profession,
undertake advanced study, or develop an avocation.
These are the marks of an educated man or woman, and it is the aim of the
University to challenge and assist in their attainment. To this end Austin Peay
State University is committed to the integration of human learning functions
and to an orderly educational sequence.
·
Minor Policy:
According to APSU policy #3:032, minors (defined as those under the age of 18)
are not allowed in classrooms. While recognizing that extenuating circumstances
occur and make it difficult for some students to attend without bringing
children with them on occasion, University policy will be enforced and thus any
request for a child to attend lecture or lab classes will be denied. In
addition, be aware that minors are not allowed in academic labs, computer labs,
science labs, or the library. Further, children cannot be left in halls outside
classrooms. Please be aware that the policy on unattended minors is for the
purpose of ensuring that our classrooms are conducive to learning and for the
safety and protection of minors. For additional information on minors on campus,
contact the Office of Student Affairs in the Morgan University Center.
·
Alarms:
Class (lecture or lab) will be temporarily suspended during a building alarm and students
are expected to leave the building
in an orderly fashion; class will resume 5 minutes after the alarm ends and safe
return is allowed into the building. Class roll
will be called and any student who has not returned at that time will receive an
unexcused absence. If less than 10 minutes (according to classroom clock) of
class time is remaining at the alarm's end, class will be suspended for that
day; if in doubt, return to class.
