Hints for the exam:
1. Please be prepared for the exam. Review the experiments and the "50 Rules for O=Chem lab". It might be very helpful to look at the old exams in the exam reader, and try to solve (which does not equal to memorize) 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 concise answers and do not write long essays. Quality over quantity!!!
2. There will be no tables provided for infrared and NMR spectroscopy, which means that you will have to memorize some basic numbers. A periodic table will not be provided either because there is one in the room. You are expected to know the atomic masses or carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.
3. The exam will take place on Thursday, March 17, 2016 from 11:30-2:30 pm in CS 24. You will only be allowed to use a pen or pencil (blue or black only!), a ruler and a non-graphing calculator (=scientific calculator) during the exam. It is your responsibility to bring these items with you to the exam. They will not be provide by the instructor. You cannot share these items with your neighbor.
4. DON'T FORGET TO TURN IN YOUR LAB NOTEBOOK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE EXAM! All spectra should be taped or stapled inside at the end of each experiment. The table of content should also be placed on the first two pages of the notebook. In addition, it is mandatory to place a sticker with your name in the upper right hand corner of the front cover. This will speed up the pickup of the notebook later on. If you have two notebooks, tie them together with a rubber band. Don't rip the last postlab report out if you turn it in together with your notebook. The notebook can be picked up after the final grades were assigned during the summer and the fall quarter after which they will be disposed off.
5. The instructor will offer his regular office hours during week 10 and on Monday and Tuesday of final's week.
