Chem 342: Synthetic Organic Chemistry
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 (every week);* Running Spectral Instruments (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;* Final Project on a complete synthesis of an extremely complex molecule, including:*# Oral Presentation: 30 hours of prep, power point and chem draw.*# Final Paper a 25-30 page beast of chem jibberish that will take weeks to research, days of prep (more chem draw and figures) and approx 40-50 hours of just straight writing....
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...
