Course Philosophy
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of life. It is the most common chemistry used in the manufacturing of drugs, clothing, plastics, explosives, fuels, etc. The goal of this course is to give the student a firm foundation from which to understand chemical transformations such that specialized courses of polymer chemistry and biochemistry can be easily approached and in order that the common chemical problems can be understood from a rational and educational basis.
Who is teaching?
Hi! My name is Shagufta Shabbir and I am honored to teach ya’ll OChem-I this semester. I got my PhD in Organic Chemistry from UT Austin with Dr. Eric Anslyn and did my Postdoctoral fellowship in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University in Illinois. My love for Austin bought me back and I was lucky enough to be hired by UT in 2012 and I have been teaching OChem-I & II to undergraduate ever since.

Policy on Exam Coverage
You will be responsible for all material covered up to the Friday lecture the week before each midterm. The pace of the class can vary, so do not be concerned of we are not on the same schedule as described above under “proposed exam topics”. The bottom line is that you are only responsible for the material covered in the previous Friday lecture. How are the exams administered? The exam are close note and are going to be given through both Canvas and Gradescope. Please learn as much as you can about “Online Canvas Quizzes” and “Gradescope” However do not stress about it. I would give you clear instructions on how to use these software before the exam begins. What is assigned? Class response system This semester we would be using Instapole for class room response system. The questions would be asked during the lecture and would be graded. The tally of these points will amount to extra credit that is added to your final course score as 1% points. nea.org

FAIR WARNING
*Missing two midterms or the final exam without a documented, valid excuse will result in a failing grade. NOTE: WE REPORT GRADES TO FOUR DECIMAL PLACES. AN 89.9632 IS ENTERED AS 89.9632, N0T 90 OR 90.00. *****Important Notice****** In general, using T-scores increases everyone's grades compared to using absolute percentages. Nevertheless, we will keep track of your percentage scores on every test. If the percentage scores are ever higher than your T- score, we will use the percentage score for your course grade calculation. Thus, if everyone does extremely well in this course, no grade will be lowered by using a curving system!
HOW DO I GET A REGRADE?
If you use a pencil or erasable ink to take your exam, we will not allow a regrade. You must use permanent ink if you anticipate wanting a regrade. Any exams to be regraded must be presented to me within three days of the return of the exams. The entire exam will be regraded by me (not the graders, you must choose who you believe to be tougher or more alert!). You cannot discuss the exam with me at all prior to the regrade. A higher or lower score can result, but a score will only be changed if it differs by 3 percentage points or more from the original score. Complaints about the final exam grading must be presented within three day of the return of the final exam. Therefore, if you anticipate a complaint, you must be diligent in following the progress of the graders. To guard against altered exams being submitted for a regrade, we routinely copy a large number of exams following grading but prior to handing them back.

Exam Policy
Alternate Exam Time
For any reason you cannot take a midterm at the designated time you have to let us know so that we can make alternative arrangements. Alternative exams are given to individuals who have classes, ROTC, work or medical issues during the regularly scheduled exam times. You must let us know your constrain September 9th. You will be asked to show documentation like course schedules, syllabus, or letter of employment to me before you registered for early exams. If you cannot take the exam at either time, please contact me via email by September 9th^ and we would try to accommodate you at a different time.
Absences due to Athletics or other University Activities
Any athlete competing for UT on an NCAA or club level team needs to notify me via email by September 9th^ about any missed exams. Written documentation from the Athletic department will be required for accommodations to be given. An official team proctor must be provided to traveling team members by the athletic department, so that a copy of the exam can be administered outside of Austin at the same time as the students are taking the exam here. The sealed exam is then returned to me by the proctor, as soon as the team returns to Austin.
Students with Disabilities
The rights of students with disabilities are protected under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, which are civil rights provisions aimed at ending discrimination against persons with disabilities. Section 504 specifically refers to post-secondary and vocational education services. The legislation reads: "No otherwise qualified handicapped individual in the United States shall, solely by reason of his handicap, be excluded from the participation, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." The University of Texas at Austin provides a wide variety of services to assist students with disabilities in becoming active members of the University community. These services vary according to the different types and severity of impairments. The Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office of the Student Dean's Office is charged with assisting disabled students. They estimate that about 2000 students suffer from disabilities including mobility impairments, learning disabilities, visual impairments, hearing impairments, ADD and ADHD, and others. By law, these students are guaranteed a learning environment with reasonable accommodation of their disability.
University Policy
Section changes, adds, and drops
All registration matters are handled by the Undergraduate Office (BIO 404), and not by me. The University rules are stringent with regard to drops, and I do not make exceptions. In general they are as follows, but you must check the policy for yourself (don’t rely on what is typed below, it is a paraphrasing of the University rules). In general, an undergraduate may drop a class through mid-semester in a long-session semester. However, the student must meet the conditions described below and must abide by the Quantity of Work Rule. The dates of the deadlines discussed below are given in the Academic Calendar. In addition to other required approvals, international students must have the written consent of the International Office to drop a class. On the recommendation of the instructor and with the approval of the student’s academic dean, a student may be required to drop a class at any time because of neglect or lack of preparation.
4 th^ class day
Last day of the official add/drop period (August 23rd) after this date, changes in registration may require the approval of the department chair and usually the student's dean. Last day undergraduate students may register and pay tuition without the approval of the registrar.
12 th^ class day
Dropping a class with possible refund: During days first through twelve (September 11 th) students may drop courses online, If the dropped class must be taken in conjunction with another class, the student must drop the second class as well. Each student should meet with his or her advisor before dropping a class.A class dropped during this period is deleted from the student’s academic record. It does not count toward the six-drop limit described above.
46 th^ class day
Last day to drop a course with approval: After the 12th^ day of class, and until the deadline for dropping courses From the thirteenth class day through the deadline to drop a class for academic reasons in a long-session semester (October 29th), a student may drop a class only with the approval of his or her dean. In some colleges and schools, the approval of the student’s advisor is also required. If the student is allowed to drop, the class remains on the student’s academic record with the symbol Q, which identifies a drop without academic penalty. In addition, the student’s dean determines
whether the student is dropping the class for an academic or a nonacademic reason. If the dean determines that the reason is academic, the drop is counted toward the six- drop limit.
Nonacademic Q-drop
After the last day for academic Q-drop students with substantiated nonacademic reasons (as determined by the Dean's Office) may be allowed to drop a course. Faculty will be asked to provide information on student performance up to the time of the nonacademic Q-drop request but are not responsible for making the decision about assigning a grade of Q. Please encourage students who experience significant nonacademic problems such as extended health-related problems or family emergencies to contact the Dean's Office.
One-Time Drop Policy
Students have the option once in their undergraduate degree to drop a class or drop out of all classes in a semester right up till the last class day. The OTE may be invoked only once during the student’s entire undergraduate college career regardless of the college the student was enrolled in at the time the exception was allowed. The provisions of the OTE are as follows. The provision of OTE are described in detail in the university catalog.

Incomplete
An incomplete (X) is a temporary delay in reporting the final course grade. An X may properly be assigned for students who must miss the final due to illness or other imperative nonacademic reasons. An X may also be given when the student has not been able to complete all the required assignments for reasons other than lack of diligence but only if the student has a passing grade on the work completed. Documentation of non-medical excuses will be required. In general, it is best for students to see a counselor in their Dean's Office regarding non-medical excuses for missing the final. Just to be clear, you will be required to have a written medical excuse signed by the person who treated you if the reason for the request for a postponed final is illness. Students have one long semester to make up an X and extensions are rare. After one long semester, the X converts to an F if no other grade is reported. An X will not be assigned to allow the student an opportunity to repeat the entire course; the only assignments or exams that should be completed to resolve the X are those that were missed for legitimate reasons during the semester. In addition, the X should be assigned only if the student has been informed and the exact procedures by which the student will make up the work are agreed upon. The assignment of an X
Pronouns I will gladly honor your request to address you by a name that is different from what appears on the official roster, and by the gender pronouns you use (she/he/they etc). Please let me know early on in the semester what you prefer, as well as if you would prefer me to use them in public or only in private. I encourage you to introduce yourself to me and share your own pronouns. Personal Note We are going to make it through this together. I am totally committed and my only aim is to see you succeed. The poster below says it all. I strongly encourage you to talk to me. Send me emails short video clips. Whatever you feel comfortable sharing and if there is anything that I can do for you I will. This syllabus is subjected to change; students who miss class are responsible for learning about any changes to the syllabus
