Prerequisite: CHEM207 Organic Chemistry I
Course Objectives:
 Expand your basic knowledge of organic chemistry by developing a deeper understanding of
the reactivity of functional groups such as aromatic rings, dienes, alcohols, amines, aldehydes,
ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives.
 Further your understanding of “electron pushing”, so that you are able to propose reasonable
reaction mechanisms.
 Use the fundamentals of functional group reactivity to develop multi-step syntheses of
organic molecules.
 Use NMR spectroscopy, along with IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, to deduce
unknown organic structures.
 Continue to develop practical laboratory skills
Attendance: All students are expected to attend class. If a situation arises where you need to miss
class, it is YOUR responsibility to obtain any notes and material covered that day.
Communication: I maintain an open door policy, so please stop by! You may also set up an
appointment outside of office hours by emailing me. Email is a very efficient method of
communication, although I generally do not check this in the evening or on weekends. Check
Blackboard often for updates!!! I will post many things to the course Blackboard site, including
solutions to quizzes, exams, and problem sets, as well as handouts for laboratory or class.

Assignments: Reading assignments, chapter objectives, and suggested problems from the textbook
will be posted for each chapter on Blackboard. An additional problem set may be posted on
Blackboard prior to each exam. Although problem sets will not be collected or graded, they should
be an integral part of your studying regiment. They will augment your understanding of the course.
Practice, practice, practice!!!!!! You cannot become a concert pianist by just reading the music and
this course is no different.
ADA Compliance: Students with documented disabilities should consult with Office of Academic
Support (CASA) and contact me privately as early as possible to discuss your specific needs and to
coordinate reasonable accommodations.
Grading Policy: The grade for the class will be based on a total of 930 points.
Laboratory
150 points
Quizzes (9 x 20 pts)
180 points
Exams (4 x 100 pts)
400 points
Final Exam
200 points
Laboratory: The laboratory is an integral part of the course. All experiments MUST be completed. If
you know you must miss a lab, let the instructor know at least a week in advance so that proper
accommodations can be made. Failure to attend lab will result in a substantial penalty (beyond that
of losing the points for the missed lab). Any student who misses more than one laboratory period
without a written excuse by the Dean of Students will fail the entire course. Appropriate laboratory
attire is required for participation. Refer to laboratory syllabus for more detailed information.
Quizzes: Quizzes will be given weekly on Fridays, at the beginning of the class period. Make-up
quizzes will not be given, nor will extra time be given to students who are late. There will be ten
quizzes and each student will have their lowest quiz score dropped at the end of the semester.
Exams: The four exams are scheduled for: February 12th, March 12th, April 9th, April 30th. Students
must contact the instructor if a conflict arises with the exam date, prior to test date. Make-up exams
will only be given for students with a written excuse from the Dean of Students and prior notice for
missing the original exam. There will be a cumulative final exam given during finals week. The final
exam is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6th from 8:00-11:00 am. The final will only be given during the
time stated by the University. No exceptions will be made. Given that Organic Chemistry is a
cumulative subject, this course will require a fundamental knowledge of previous concepts for all
quizzes/exams.
NOTE: You must earn passing grades in both the lecture and laboratory components of CHEM208 to
pass the course. Any student earning a failing grade in either component will subsequently fail the
course.

Academic Integrity: Refer to pages 32 through 34 in the FSU Undergraduate catalog for a full
description of the academic honesty policy. (http://www.framingham.edu/undergraduatecatalogs/documents/1112/academic-regulations.pdf.) There is a zero-tolerance policy on cheating
and plagiarism (including quizzes, exams, and lab reports). If you have any questions regarding this
policy, please contact me.
Please be respectful during class and refrain from the following activities:
1. Using your phone (sending or receiving calls, text messages, emails, etc.)
2. Talking with your neighbor
3. Using laptop computers (you will find that these are inefficient for taking notes in this course)
4. Leaving before the class period is complete
