There will be 12-13 take home quizzes, 10 points each. Grades for top 10 quizzes will count.

TEXTBOOK:
Organic Chemistry, 6th Edition, by Vollhardt and Schore, Freeman, 2009

Study Guide, 6th Edition, by Neil Schore.

GRADING:
The final grade is based on 500 points. Quizzes count 100 points. Your exam grade (400 points) is the higher of (1) all three semester exams (300 points) and the final exam (100 points) or (2) your two highest semester exams (100 points each) plus the final exam (200 points). In other words, in option (2) you can drop one semester exam score, but then the final exam counts double. All exams are normalized to a T-Score of about 75 points. Typical grade distributions (±5%) are: A's, 15%; B's, 35%; C's, 40%; D's/F's/W's, 10%..
