Organic Chemistry II Lecture & Lab

CHEM 1021, Organic Chemistry II, is a three-credit, lecture only, online organic chemistry course. This course is designed to give the student, interested in the health professions, an introduction to the second semester of organic chemistry. Students will be introduced to a wide range of organic chemistry reactions. Students will learn to predict reaction outcomes and build an understanding of how molecules are synthesized. These are topics that needed for entrance exams in the health professions. This course is also focused on the mechanisms of many reactions of organic chemistry.  Students will begin to predict the outcomes of competing reactions and develop short syntheses.  Students will need a basic understanding of organic structure and carbonyl reactions. 

CHEM 1021L is a one-credit, lab only, online organic chemistry course. This lab course is designed at a level to provide an introductory-level college organic chemistry course for health science majors. An emphasis is placed on understanding the concept of the labs and the scientific method since today’s healthcare professionals are expected to have a general understanding of how science and the scientific method contribute to their profession. The UNE online organic chemistry faculty member provides an introduction to each laboratory, relating the lab content to the corresponding course lecture and emphasizing the relevance to the Health Sciences. The labs are thus for pre-medical, dental, PA, DPT, pharmacy, dietetics, and graduate nutrition students. Topics include organic synthesis and analysis techniques. This course will introduce the student to important laboratory techniques covered on most professional entrance exams.
