Instructor: Dr. Noel Sturm,
SI 311.
Office Hours: by appointment.
E-Mail: nsturm@csudh.edu
Course Organization and Policies:
1. Prerequisites: General Chemistry
(1 year)
2. Required Text: Organic Chemistry
ISBN-10: 0136436692
Required: Study Guide to Organic
Chemistry (has answers to the assigned problems); Morrison
& Boyd (6th Edition)
Required: Molecular Model Kit
3. Lecture
Notes: The lecture notes are available on-line, arranged via lecture topic,
at: www2.csudh.edu/nsturm/. It is suggested that you bring a printed copy
of the lecture notes printed in slide format six to a page with you to class
to facilitate learning. Examination questions will be derived from lecture
material, work sheets and homework, i.e. class attendance, on-line, is essential to do well in this course.
4. On-Line Sessions: We will meet on-line from 10:00 AM until 12 noon Monday through Thursday using Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. We will discuss lecture material, do quick thinks and answer questions. It is very important that you attend all of the on-line sessions in order to succeed in this course. You must have a working computer, reliable internet connectivity and browser is an important requirement, please use Firefox 2.0.x or higher.

5. Examinations: There will be three multiple choice examinations (see syllabus for specific dates) each worth
99 points. Absolutely NO make-up exams will be given.
6. Final Exam: The final exam (100 pts), which will be multiple choice and comprehensive, is on Friday, July 29th 2022.
7. Homework / Work
Sheets: Daily homework
will be assigned. Given the array of unfamiliar material and the speed with
which we cover the material doing the assigned homework problems is required to succeed in the course.
8. The Goal of this course is to
understand the chemistry of aliphatic and aromatic systems.
9. Grading Criteria: Letter grades are based on the following point distribution. Grades are
criterion-referenced not norm-referenced; each student has an equal opportunity
meet the criteria charted below:
Three Exams @100 pts = 300 pts (297 from Exams and 3 from Respondus Lockdown Browser test)
Final Exam = 100 pts
Homework = Required

10. Course Description: A detailed study of organic molecular structure, reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry,
and synthesis with emphasis on aliphatic and aromatic systems.
11. Academic Integrity
Statement: A university is a community of learners bonded together by
the search for knowledge; the pursuit of personal, social, cultural, physical,
and intellectual development; and the desire for the liberating effects of
an advanced education. California
State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) has a culture--an academic culture--shared
with other universities and colleges across the nation. Integral to that culture is a set of values such as academic freedom,
dedication to teaching and learning, diversity, civility toward others, and
academic integrity. Academic integrity is of central importance
in the university community and involves committed allegiance to the values,
the principles, and the code of behavior held to be central in that community. Integrity concerns honesty and implies being truthful, fair, and free
from lies, fraud and deceit.
12. Disabled Student Services:CSUDH adheres to the American with Disabilities Act with respect to providing reasonable accommodations for students with temporary or permanent disabilities. To receive accommodations, students with disabilities must register with Disabled Student Services. For more information, please contact their office in Welch Hall B250 at (310) 243-3660 or (310) 243-2028.
The following are clickable links to Power Point slide presentations for lectures in Organic Chemistry. Feel free to print and use them. If you are using a modem to connect to the internet, it may take several minutes to download each file. You may want to print the slides as “handouts” (6 to a page) to save paper. These are works in progress and any feedback or errors should be emailed to Dr. Sturm.
