In this course, we will explore select concepts in organic chemistry, with a focus on developing strong fundamentals rather than trying to cover a large quantity of reactions, and helping you develop the ability to reason in a structured manner when faced with a wide variety of molecule-based situations. Academic honesty/integrity statement: Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. That being said, all assignments other than exams can be freely worked on in groups, and with any resources the student wishes to use. In fact, we will at times utilize ChatGPT and evaluate the quality of responses. On exams, all work must be the student's own - cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate removal from the classroom and a report will be sent to OSI.
