The first of a two-course sequence in organic chemistry lecture and laboratory methods. The aim of this course is to provide students with foundational knowledge of organic chemistry by focusing on chemical structures and bonding patterns, three-dimensional special reasoning and the consequences it has on molecules, basic substitution (SN1 and SN2) and elimination (E1, E2 and E1cb) reactions, and various analytical techniques (MS, NMR UV-Vis and IR) and various lab methods (chromatography, recrystallization, distillation, separation, synthesis and structural determination). Success in this course will serve as a foundation for continued study of organic chemistry, biochemistry and other advanced science courses.

This course covers four topic areas: a) basic economic terms in microeconomics, b) basic economic terms in macroeconomics, c) a historical overview of major economic ideas and d) an exploration of a variety of economic issues.
