Prerequisite:
General course
Description:
CHM 234 or equivalent.
This course is a continuation of CHM 234. CHM 235 will focus on the
topics covered in Chapters 13-22,26,27 of your text. These topics include:
proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR
& 13C-NMR) for identification of organic compounds; aromatic
compounds; reactions of benzene and substituted benzenes: chemistry of
carbonyl compounds with emphasis on nucleophilic acyl substitution and
addition, nucleophilic addition-elimination, and reactions at the α-carbon;
some oxidation-reduction reactions; more chemistry of amines; and an
introduction to biologically important molecules such as carbohydrates;
amino acids, peptides, proteins; lipids; and nucleosides, nucleotides, and
nucleic acids.
For each chapter, you will be expected to be able to answer the problems
in the chapter as well as assigned problems from the additional problem
set at the end of each chapter. Although these practice problems will not
be a part of your grade, successfully solving and understanding the
solutions to these problems should help you master the material covered
during lectures.You are responsible for learning all the material in the text
(unless excluded) and all supplemental information provided by the
instructor.
Examinations:
There will be 2 examinations, a Midterm scheduled for Monday, July
30, and a Final scheduled for Monday, August 20. The Final
examination will only cover material presented during the second half
of the course.
Quizzes:
In addition to the midterm and final examinations, there will be 5 short
quizzes scheduled at times indicated on the attached tentative
lecture/exam/quiz schedule. Each quiz will be given during the last 30-40
minutes of the scheduled lecture period. Each quiz is worth 25 points.
Your lowest quiz score will be dropped. It is strongly suggested that in
order to do well on these quizzes, you should review the lecture and text
material constantly. All quizzes and exams will be multiple choice – you
will need to purchase scantron forms – Form # 815-E for the quizzes and
Form # 882-ES for the two exams.
Grading:
Your final grade in CHM 235 will be computed based on a total of 500
points:

Policy on attendance and missed exams and quizzes:
1. Attendance for lectures is optional.
2. Missed quizzes and exams will be given a grade of zero unless
there is a valid excuse that can be substantiated in writing. In these
cases you must make arrangements with the instructor to make up the
missed exam or quiz.
Cheating:
Although the vast majority of students at Oakland do not cheat, it is naïve to
believe that cheating does not occur. For the protection of the honest majority, the instructor will
make every effort to prevent cheating. A student will be referred to the Academic Conduct
Committee for review if the student is suspected of cheating by: (1) copying on exams/quizzes,
(2) changing answers on answer sheets after they have been scored (Note: scored Scantron
answer forms are photocopied before they are returned to the student), (3) having another person
take a quiz/exam, (4) obtaining quiz/exam questions prior to the quiz/exam date. A student found
guilty of academic misconduct faces suspension or permanent dismissal from the University.
