Here are some materials related to the organic chemistry courses I've taught. I'll start by posting graded assignments from recent classes.

Organic Chemistry I  
     

 

Here are old course materials I've prepared for the first semester of a standard one-year introduction to organic chemistry. At Saint Louis University, these courses are CHEM 2410 - Principles of Organic Chemistry I (for non-majors, previously CHEM 342) and CHEM 2430 - Organic Chemistry I (for chemistry and biochemistry majors, previously CHEM 346). As a general rule, quizzes are essentially practice exams, but they are typically more challenging than exams because collaboration was allowed. Some of the problems have been modified from the original assessments to correct errors or improve clarity.

As a general rule, quizzes are essentially practice exams, but they are typically more challenging than exams because collaboration was allowed.
