TOTAL 100%
Grading Policy: Course grading will be determined by weighted average of course work,
there is no curve on the course. Grades on individual exams may be curved.
Early/Late Quizzes: Quizzes will be given in the first 20 minutes of lecture on the
scheduled date. There will be no late or early quizzes given. The lowest quiz score will
be dropped, if you are ill or otherwise miss class that will be the dropped quiz. Students
who miss the final will be given an incomplete only if they have a legitimate reason for
their absence and a passing grade prior to the final. Written documentation of the reason
for absence from the final is required
Regrades: Quizzes will be returned via Gradescope. You can access your quiz after
grading at http://gradescope.com using the course ID 96ZDK8. If you have questions
about scoring use the regrade tool for the specific question you’d like regraded. If you
have several questions, request a regrade for each question separately. Regrades will be
available for 1 week after the quiz grades are posted at which point grades will be final.
Per campus policy there are no regrades on final exams.
Online Homework Sets: Homework sets will be posted on MasteringChemistry.com. The
course ID is MCLIEVENS11935. Homework sets are due at the specified times. Any
work that is not submitted on time will have points automatically deducted per hour late.
There are no dropped homework sets.
Lab Reports: Late labs will be deducted 10% when turned in late on the same day as they
are due. Lab reports turned in next day to 1 week late will lose 25%. Lab reports more
than 1 week late will receive 0 points. All lab reports must be submitted to pass the class.
Repeaters:
Please enroll in ARO section. Submit a Lab Score Request form to the head TA
before Oct. 1st. Forms may be found on Canvas or at http://chemistry.ucdavis.edu.
Suggested Practice Problems:

Suggested problem assignments are given as a guide in your studying and for self-
testing of your mastery of the material covered in the lectures. It is suggested that you
work on the exercises given within the chapters (you will find the solutions to these at the
end of the text) before proceeding with the problems at the end of the chapters. Answers
to the latter are given in detail in the, “ Study Guide and Solution Manual”.

Tips for Study:

Make a schedule to study at least 6 hours a week, regularly. Study should be active and
not passive. Simply reading the chapter or reviewing the notes generally will not work.
a. Skim the material in the book before it is presented in lecture.

b. Take notes in class and then rewrite them to see if they make sense. Put
asterisks by important points and question marks by material which you don’t
understand.
c. Compare lecture notes and material in the textbook. Talk to me or a TA
concerning the material you have marked with a question mark.
d. You must be able to solve problems by yourself. Check your study guide only
after you have tried to work out the problem on paper several times.
e. Come to office hours as SOON as you have difficulty or even if you don’t.
Student Learning Objectives for 8B 2nd quarter Organic Chemistry (Brief)
Upon successful completion of this course students should be able to:
Understand and explain the reactions of alcohols and ethers including determining the
products of reaction, reagents used in reactions and mechanisms.
Determine if a compound is aromatic.
Understand and explain electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions such as

halogenation, nitration, sulfonation, Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation including
mechanisms and reagents.
Understand and explain the affects of substitution on the rate and position of electrophilic
aromatic substitution reactions as well as pKa of phenols, anilines, and benzoic acids.
Integrate reactions of aromatic systems, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acid

derivatives into multi-step synthesis of target compounds from given starting materials.
Name alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acid derivatives, and aromatic
compounds using IUPAC nomenclature and recognize selected common names.
Understand and explain the reactions of carboxylic acid derivatives, aldehydes and
ketones such as nucleophilic substitution and nucleophilic addition including determining
the products of reaction, reagents used in reactions and mechanisms.
Understand and explain the reactions adjacent to a carbonyl group such as the aldol
reaction and β-keto-ester synthesis including determining the products of reaction,
reagents used in reactions and mechanisms.
Describe and identify molecules as carbohydrates and determine if they are aldoses or
ketoses, reducing sugars, and/ or D vs. L structures.
Predict the products of basic reactions of monosaccarides including the Kiliani-Fischer

Synthesis, oxidation/reduction, and hemiacetal formations.
Understand and describe the differences between mono-, di-, and polysaccarides and the
roles of specific examples in living systems.
Describe and identify simple amino acids, peptides and proteins and understand the
effects of pH on structure and make predictions on pKa, and pI.
Describe and identify peptide bonds, and primary, secondary, tertiary and quarternary
structure of proteins including disulfide bonds and sequence determination.
Describe and identify fatty acids, fats, terpenes and steroids and the roles of specific
examples in living systems
