Lab- 4 hours
Lab report- 8 hours or so per report except the third, which is a short work sheet.
===Chem 342: Synthetic Organic Chemistry===
For those with enough testicular fortitude, this clas sis interesting but the workload is constant and makes intro orgo look rather pale by comparison. Getting through this class witha decent grade is a blessing bestowed upon few. With Smith its a whole new world of pain, he's a great prof and helps out a lot but with:
Weekly Problems sets averaging 6-8 hours as a minimum;
Two "6 hour" take-home midterms that would frighten the bravest chemist;
Labs that range from 4 to 8 hours long of actual in lab time;
Spectral analysis (outside of lab) 1 hour;
Spectral Analysis and lab prep that take about an hour;
Lab Reports that take approx 40-50 hours to write up....
This class is no joke. But if you're willing to get your ass kicked for a semester the knowledge imparted upon you is vast and powerful....for you shall become an Organic Chem Lord...
