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:
As 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:
5 hours outside of week to review new
material; Test questions will come from suggested hw problems, activities done
in class and class examples. Homework is not required but is highly suggested
for success in the class
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:
Assessment is given through labs,
quizzes, exams, and presentations

GRADING SYSTEM:
Evaluation
is an integral part of the educational process and is used as an educational
tool to help students identify problem areas, to recognize and reward
achievement, and to identify students who are unable to meet the rigors of the
curriculum. Final course grades and their interpretation are listed below:

DISCLAIMER
The lectureoutlines contained in the
lecture booklet are NOT intended to represent the entire content of the course.
A lecture outline is intended to be a guide to the lecture. The responsibility
of the instructor is to follow the outline, expand the concepts and give
explanation and illustrations to clarify content. The role of the student is to
attend lecture and take notes over material presented by the lecturer that
explains and illustrates the material listed in the outline. It is also the
responsibility of the student to question the instructor if explanations and
illustrations are not clearly presented or understood.
The instructors take no
responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of old notes, quiz questions or
exam questions that students may purchase, acquire from off of the internet or
be given by previous students.
