Chemistry 231- Introductory Organic Chemistry - January 2012 - CRN 23260 Welcome to the webpages for Chemistry 231. Navigate around this site using the links at the left-hand side of each page. The instructor for Spring 2012 lectures, 9:30-10:30 am in Elliott 168, is Dr. Fraser Hof. Attendance at all lectures is expected. COURSE NOTES are not online - slides that supplement the on-board course notes are at the bottom of this page. Get information about times and places of mid-term tests and the final exam from the assessment page, including sample tests. The Chemistry 231 drop-in centre is staffed by teaching assistants (TAs) who can help you with understanding the course material. Find out how assessment of the course is done, along with rules concerning missed quizzes and exams. Study advice can be found on the learning organic chemistry page, along with what you can expect to learn from the course. The course syllabus. Click on the link in the menu bar at the left side of this page. Solomons & Fryhle, Organic Chemistry (10th edition) (also the text used for Chem 232 and 235) is the course textbook. Molecular Models: Learning organic chemistry using a “hands-on” and “problems-oriented” approach with molecular models is essential and effective. Visualization of the molecules in three dimensions is an important aspect in the understanding of organic structure and reactivity. You will be allowed to use a model set in all quizzes and at the final examination. You are therefore strongly encouraged to acquire a molecular model set.
