Hints for the exam:

1. Be prepared for the exam. Look at the old exams in the exam reader, and try to solve them on your own. If you have questions, please contact your TA or instructor asap. As you will notice, the exams are relatively long, not everybody will be able to finish them. Make sure that you give short answers and don't write long essays. Quality over quantity!!!

2. There will be no tables provided for IR and NMR spectroscopy. You will need to memorize some basic numbers.

3.The exam will take place on September 9, 2010 from 9:00-12:00 pm in Boelter Hall 3400. You will only be allowed to use a pen or pencil (no red!), a ruler and a non-graphing calculator during the exam. It is your responsibility to bring these items with you to the exam. No IR or NMR tables will be provided in the exam.

4. DON'T FORGET TO TURN IN YOUR LAB NOTEBOOK ON THE DAY OF THE EXAM! All spectra should be taped or stapled inside.
