CHM 301
An introductory course that covers the
Organic Chemistry I structures, properties, spectroscopy, and
reactivity of organic compounds. Students will
Professor/Instructor
learn the mechanisms of organic chemistry
and general principles through a combination
of lectures and problemsolving in small
groups. The course may be followed by 302 or
304. This course is appropriate for students in
chemistry, biology, and premedical programs.
Prerequisite: 201 and 202; or 203 (or 207)
and 204; or 215; or a score of 5 on the AP
Chemistry Exam. Three lectures, one three-
hour laboratory.
