COURSE OUTCOME COMPETENCIES:
At the conclusion of the course, the student should be able to:
1) Name and describe the role of important individuals and events in the history
of organic chemistry.
2) Define, describe and identify the various terms, symbols and formulas
common to organic chemistry.
3) Recognize and draw the structures (Lewis dot structures, condensed formulas,
line-bond structures, skeleton structures, projections) of the various
compounds and functional groups studied.
4) Recognize and name by appropriate IUPAC nomenclature and/or common
name the various compounds and functional groups studied.
5) Describe the types of chemical bonding present in organic compounds and the
impact of these bonds on molecular structure.
6) Utilize the basic principles of valence bond theory and molecular orbital
theory to predict molecular shape, bond angles, molecular polarity and other
molecular properties.
7) Estimate the relative boiling points, acidity, basicity, polarity, and physical
properties of compounds from the various classes of compounds studied.
8) Utilize basic principles of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics to evaluate
changes in entropy, enthalpy, free energy and reaction rate.
9) Draw and interpret progress of reaction diagrams for the common organic
reactions.
10) Describe, write appropriate chemical equations and employ reaction
mechanisms to show methods for the synthesis of the different classes of
compounds studied.
11) Describe, write appropriate chemical equations and employ reaction
mechanisms to deduce the major products in the reactions of the compounds
studied.
12) Identify, define and employ the basic terms, symbols and concepts of optical
activity.
13) Use spectral data to identify structures and aid in the identification of
compounds studied.
14) Distinguish among the classes of compounds studied by means of simple

15) Identify, setup and safely utilize the laboratory equipment and instrumentation
common to organic chemistry.
16) Conduct basic organic chemistry laboratory procedures following laboratory
safety guidelines, material safety data sheets and local, state and federal
regulations related to the use and disposal of chemicals, reagents and
hazardous chemical waste.
17) Collect, record, interpret and properly report experimental data.
18) Recognize and utilize fundamental principles of organic chemistry applicable
to other areas of chemistry, biology and everyday life.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS:
“The University expects students to make class attendance a priority.”
1. Participation in University sponsored events is an excused absence. Other
absences MAY be excused at the discretion of the instructor.
2. ALL absences (including for University sponsored events) must be discussed with
the instructor BEFORE the absence or they will be unexcused.
3. If an exam or laboratory work is missed due to an excused absence, it must be
made-up within a week of the scheduled date. Unexcused absences from exams
or laboratory can NOT be made-up and a grade of 0% will be recorded for that
exam.
4. Lab write-ups are considered to be a part of the scheduled lab time and are due
before the next assigned laboratory exercise is begun.
5. If a student misses 25% of lecture classes or laboratories the student may be
dropped from the class.
STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISM AND ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Wayland
Baptist University observes a zero tolerance policy regarding academic dishonesty. Per
university policy as described in the academic catalog, all cases of academic dishonesty
will be reported and second offenses will result in suspension from the university.
DISABILITY STATEMENT:
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), it is the policy of
Wayland Baptist University that no otherwise qualified person with a disability be
excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination
under any educational program or activity in the university. The Coordinator of
Counseling Services serves as the coordinator of students with a disability and should be
contacted concerning accommodation requests at (806) 291-3765. Documentation of a
disability must accompany any request for accommodations.
It is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor of any disability that may
require accommodation during the lecture or laboratory portions of the course. It is of
particular importance to report any condition or disability that may affect the laboratory
safety of the individual or others. Information provided for this purpose will be kept
strictly confidential and will not in any way affect the individual’s course grade.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING CRITERIA:
1. Four hour exams (40%). Hour exams will cover assigned reading and homework
problems.
2. Homework (25%). Problems will be assigned for each topic covered. Problems
will be collected at announced due dates, graded and returned. Late homework
will not be accepted. Reading the textbook and completion of homework
assignments will be required for success on the exams. Homework problems will
be posted on the course Blackboard site.
3. Comprehensive final exam (15%).
4. Laboratory (20%). Laboratory work will consist of laboratory exercises,
experiments, a chemical literature assignment, and laboratory reports. Unless
otherwise announced, completed laboratory reports will generally be due at the
beginning of the next regularly scheduled lab period.
5. Abiding by laboratory safety guidelines at all times. Failure to do so may result in
dismissal from the lab and subsequent reduction in course grade.
6. All assignments turned in late will be penalized at a rate of 20% per school day.

Incomplete*
*An incomplete may be given within the last two weeks of the semester to a student who
is passing but has not completed required work for reasons beyond the student’s control.
The incomplete will be removed only if the required work is completed by the date
during the next academic term given in the academic catalogue. Failure to complete the
work by this date will result in the grade of F.
Students shall have protection through orderly procedures against prejudices or
capricious academic evaluation. A student who believes that he or she has not been held
to realistic academic standards, just evaluation procedures, or appropriate grading, may
appeal the final grade given in the course by using the student grade appeal process
described in the Academic Catalog. Appeals may not be made for advanced
placement examinations or course bypass examinations. Appeals are limited to the
final course grade, which may be upheld, raised, or lowered at any stage of the appeal
process. Any recommendation to lower a course grade must be submitted through the
Executive Vice President/Provost to the Faculty Assembly Grade Appeals Committee for
review and approval. The Faculty Assembly Grade Appeals Committee may instruct that
the course grade be upheld, raised, or lowered to a more proper evaluation.
