Welcome! We'll learn here some basic organic chemistry, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, cyclo- s, alcohols, amines, and haloalkanes. We'll be looking into how to name them, and some interesting properties of them. This will move pretty fast, and assume knowledge of basic chemistry as a jumping-off point.
S120: Organic Chemistry, Part II in Splash Spring 13 (Apr. 27, 2013)
NOTE: You MUST have taken Part I of this course to take this.
Welcome back! We'll be going into some of the more complicated aspects of organic chemistry here, including the naming of carbonyls (ketones and aldehydes), imines, (ketimines and aldimines), aromaticity, and basic acid/base and nucleophilic reactions. If we have time, we might go into some biochemistry, and how to think like a chemist, too.

Annyeonghaseyo! Eoseo oshipshiyo! We'll learn here about hangul, the Korean script, legendarily known as "so easy a wise man can learn it in an afternoon, and even a fool can learn it in a week". If we have enough time, we might go into some very basic Korean phrases. Please bring pencils/pens and paper with you: you'll get to write, too!
