Review materials- there are a handful of tutorials for topics that were not covered in class (or things that are review and were covered quickly). These tutorials may be helpful if you are having difficulty with a particular topic.
Organic Topic Sheets- Each sheet focuses on a narrow topic and provides a series of problems to reinforce key issues
Stereochemistry Skills Worksheet (answers)
IR spectra for practice Answer Keys for IR spectra (5 problems on page 11) Key for 8 probs on last page p1 p2
Laboratory Experiments- This table will show the experiment for each lab session with a link to the procedure. The notes will describe the type of report and due date. See the lab guide link below for more details.
Lab Techniques Help- video clips and instructions- video clips and suggestions for some of the organic chemistry lab techniques such as distillation and recrystallization.

Topics from CHEM1211/1212 that are especially important for this course
Old Tests- Here are tests from recent semesters. You can expect your test to be of similar length and difficulty. Some (but not all) of the types of problems will be similar. I try very hard to make sure I don't repeat myself.
