4. Course Learning Objectives for Students
How to record data carefully
How to record relevant observations
How to manage lab time effectively
How to assess the efficiency of experimental methods given
How to plan for the isolation and purification of the substance you prepare
How to work safely
How to solve problems and think like a chemist
Approximate:
Learn Organic Techniques (70%) of course
Applied to Organic I and II Lectures (30%) of course

5. What’s New? (It is a lot!)
NOT KLUGER’S section... follow procedures from the lab manual and my powerpoints.
Labs are divided into technique and preparative experimental labs
All quizzes are taken and graded online through webcourses
TAs don’t create or grade any of these
Students write less lab reports and NONE are dropped!!
All have to be written and all are graded (no “completion labs”)
All lab reports are submitted to turnitin.com and (you will be graded on turnitin.com and comments appear there)
Online website
Spectral database (SDBS) will be used to compare all products
IR spectroscopy for EVERY experiment (exception: t-pentyl chloride) No excuses!!
NMR spectroscopy!! Students do not handle this. GTA will be NMR trained. Students will just prepare the NMR tube (this is for the last three lab experiments)

6. Preparative Experiments
Course Structure: Technique and Preparative Experiments
Technique based experiments
Preparative Experiments
Background Theory
You will have to use this for your lab reports for the preparative experiments
You will also need it for the quizzes
You will also need to refer to this prior to reading the preparative experiments
Procedures
Motivation/Importance
Broader impact in the real world (either technique or final product)
Background Theory
Technique
How it applies to this lab
Experiment in General
Procedures

7. Preparative Experiments
Course Structure: Technique and Preparative Experiments
Technique based experiments
Preparative Experiments
Covers lower level thinking (only)
This is useful to understand higher level concepts later on
Covers higher level thinking
Lower

8. Preparative Experiments
Course Structure: Technique and Preparative Experiments
Technique based experiments
Preparative Experiments
Extraction
Solubility
Crystallization
IR Spectroscopy (BP, MP)
Heating Methods
NMR Spectroscopy
t-pentyl chloride
aspirin
4-methyl cyclohexene
isopentyl acetate
benzoin
benzil
Unknown lab

11. Website: http://www.chm2211L.wordpress.com
Website had over 20,000 views last semester and over 2,500 unique visitors
Syllabus (general copy)
Quiz Info (what to study)
Notebook (what to include, format)
New Updates and Changes
Lets you know changes to the website or course, quick communication from the instructor to students without the use of s
Frequently Asked Questions
( I update these as I get them)

12. Website: http://www.chm2211L.wordpress.com
Supplementary Information/videos
Watch them, I hand picked them and quiz questions can be based off of this material
Student power points (don’t ask TA to them, YOU can download them on my website)
Lab Report
Contents
Specific key information that must be included in the lab
Grading Rubric
GTAs will be using this (in conjunction with the syllabus) to assign points to your lab reports

13. Website: http://www.chm2211L.wordpress.com
In summary, it has pretty much has everything you need

15. What do you need to do before the semester starts?
Brush up on Gen Chem (limiting reactants, percent yield, sig figs, etc.)
How to use Equation builder in Word (found on the website) search it there
Search all chemicals to be prepared in the labs (i.e., t-pentyl chloride, 4- methyl cyclohexene,… etc.) on SDBS
so you can answer simple questions for students on how to operate
Write down the login for turnitin.com
Login: you create
Pw: you create
You may have created this already for a different class
Write down course number (obtained under the personnel section)
The password for the course is the first name of the GTA (first letter capitalized)
Visit and familiarize yourself with
