CHEM 215 is the second course in a two-term sequence in which the major concepts of chemistry are introduced in the context of organic chemistry. Emphasis is on the development of the capacity of students to think about the relationship between structure and reactivity and to solve problems in a qualitatively analytical way. Many of the topics are presented from a bioorganic perspective, and so the course is relevant to many bio-x perspectives.
The course has three lectures with the professor and one hour of discussion with a graduate student instructor per week. There are three
hour examinations and a final examination.
Any questions regarding enrolling for this course should be directed to the Chemistry Student Services Office at chemundergrad@umich.edu.
Intended Audience:
This course is a particularly good second course for students with AP credit in chemistry, Honors students, and other students with a strong
interest in chemistry and biology, and follows directly from CHEM 210.
Class Format:
The course has three lectures with the professor and one hour of discussion with a graduate student instructor per week.
