COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Our mission is to provide students with core
knowledge in basic sciences so they can become successful as Parker students,
on board exams, in treating patients, and eventually becoming chiropractors
and leaders in the field of wellness.
The topics
covered will be reactions of alcohol, carboxylic acid and its’ derivatives,
amines, thiols, ethers, and aromatics. In addition, NMR, IR and MS spectra
will be covered
GENERAL APPROACH TO TEACHING:
I learn more about the teaching process and
tools and techniques for engaging students and improving classroom
techniques, I hope to become a stronger teacher, and leave students with a
better understanding of science. I employ several active learning techniques,
in an attempt to keep students involved. To get students involved in the
process of learning, I have found that giving varied assignments and multiple
examples are effective techniques
ESTIMATE OF STUDENT WORKLOAD:
The estimated work load for this class is
approximately 1hr studying/1hr lecture
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the completion of this course, the student
should be able to:
1.
Draw
resonance structures for various organic chemistry reactions
2.
Predict
synthetic steps in an organic chemistry reaction
3.
Recognize
chemical functional groups
4.
Recognize
different amino acids and their interactions
Lab Objectives: At the completion of this course,
the student should be able to:
1. Know common glassware and use
2. Perform organic chemistry reactions
3. Separate mixtures
4. Read various organic instrumentation spectra
ASSESSMENT:
The student will assessed through quizzes, discussion
questions, lecture exams, laboratories and a presentation
PREREQUISITES:
Enrollment in Parker College of Chiropractic,
High School chemistry, College algebra, General chemistry I and II, Organic
Chemistry I
