| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course provides an opportunity for students to revisit material covered in the first semester of basic organic chemistry using English. The two purposes of this course are to ensure that students have a firm foundation in basic organic chemistry and to learn to proficiently apply these concepts in English. This course is beneficial for students who have already taken the first semester of basic organic chemistry or who have an interest in learning organic chemistry in English. | |||
| Course Goals | This course aims to help students have good understanding of basic organic chemistry, particularly in regards to the fundamentals of chemical bonding, acid and base chemistry, stereochemistry, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and select organic reactions. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
The course will cover the following topics: Introduction to Organic Chemistry Structure and Bonding (Chapter 1) Polar Covalent Bonds and Acids and Bases (Chapter 2) Alkanes and Functional Groups (Chapter 3) Conformation and Stereochemistry of Alkanes (Chapter 4) Introduction to Organic Reactions (Chapter 6) Alkenes and Alkynes (Chapter 7) Each topic will be covered in approximately 1 to 3 weeks based upon the needs of the class. A feedback session will take place one week after the final exam. |
