Text: Carey, Organic Chemistry, 7th ed. The solution manual will have the answers to the homework assignments.
Policies – You must have a C- or better from Chem 3311. There will be a total of 550 points. There will be three hour-exams worth 100 points and a final exam worth 200 points. There will be no makeup exams. If you miss an exam, the remaining exams will be weighted more heavily. You can only miss an exam due to medical issues, which must be documented and conveyed to me. Homework problems will be assigned from the textbook, but will not be collected or graded. If you feel that an exam problem has been misgraded, please write me a note explaining your concerns and return the test to me for a regrade. The last 50 points will be based upon your performance in recitation; therefore, you must attend your assigned recitation section.

SUBJECT: Course Syllabus Information
If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to me a letter from Disability Services in a timely manner so that your needs be addressed. Disability Services determines accommodations based on documented disabilities. Contact: 303-492-8671, Willard 322, and http://www.Colorado.EDU/disabilityservices
If you have a temporary medical condition or injury, see guidelines at http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices/go.cgi?select=temporary.html
Disability Services' letters for students with disabilities indicate legally mandated reasonable accommodations. The syllabus statements and answers to Frequently Asked Questions can be found at http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices
Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty make every effort to deal reasonably and fairly with all students who, because of religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or required attendance. Please let me know the first week of class of any conflicts with exams. See full details at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html
Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning environment. Those who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards may be subject to discipline. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, gender variance, and nationalities. Class rosters are provided to the instructor with the student's legal name. I will gladly honor your request to address you by an alternate name or gender pronoun. Please advise me of this preference early in the semester so that I may make appropriate changes to my records. See policies at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html and at http://www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html#student_cod
