Course description
Most of chemical and pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology is based on organic chemistry. You will not be able to master the fundamentals for organic chemistry by simply attending the lectures. It is essential to solve the problems by yourself for deep understanding of organic chemistry. In this course, therefore, you will be required to solve the problems from the textbooks (John McMurry, Organic Chemistry) used in the Organic Chemistry I, II, and III.
Exams will be given every week according to the course schedule announced in the course guidance. What each exam covers will also be given in the schedule. The problems in the exam will be assigned from the text for each chapter and/or will be similar to those found in the text.
The course formate consists of 1) reviewing the scheduled chapters, 2) exams for the corresponding chapters, and 3) explanation of how to solve the problems.
Expected Learning
Objective of this course is to gain a solid understanding of basic organic chemistry by solving problems. The students will be able to explain various phenomena regarding organic chemistry or reactions based on your acquired knowledge.

Assessment/Grading
Your grade will be determined largely by a total score of exam points and attendance points. You are expected to attend the course guidance and all exam sessions to pass the course.
Message from instructor(s)
The scope of each exam will be announced in the course guidance. The students should prepare for the exams. It is essential for understanding organic chemistry to think for yourself.
