Grade: Chemistry 4810 is an advanced course usually taken by graduating seniors. For that reason, and due to the nature of the class activities, the grade will be loosely based on classroom participation, homework, and the term paper.

Lectures: The lecture, or class time, will be spent on discussion or problem solving depending upon the material being covered.

Homework Problems: Specific problems will be assigned from time to time. Students should be prepared to present to the entire class the solution (or potential solutions) to not only the specific problems but also to the general, end-of-the-chapter problems. On occasion, selected problems will be turned in.

Term Paper: Each student shall select an organic chemistry topic from the current literature and prepare a literature review (term paper) on the topic. Work used in the paper will be properly cited and will include drawn chemical structures. The paper will be graded for content as well as appropriate language and will be typed. The student will also present the topic orally to the class.
