Summary
Past student reviews · Tehshik Yoon
The review provided a moderate difficulty rating of 3 out of 5, without specific details on workload or assessments.
What you’ll be able to do
Use spectroscopic data to elucidate chemical structures and analyze samples of pure and impure mixtures.
Safely use basic and advanced organic chemistry apparatus, glassware, and techniques for the synthesis, isolation, and purification of organic molecules.
Obtain and use computational data to support their analysis of a molecular structure and/or reaction outcome.
Use the electronic and molecular structure of organic molecules to predict and rationalize chemical reactivity.
Construct and use a reaction energy profile to justify why a particular reaction system generates certain products with an emphasis on modern organic reactions.
Plan and conduct independent chemical syntheses and use spectroscopic evidence to evaluate, modify, and implement improvements.
Communicate results from student-run chemical reactions in writing and oral presentations authentic to professional publications and settings.
