Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Completing the midterm test over 50%.

Mid-term exams

The organic chemistry laboratory course will be graded (1-5), based on the two written tests on 6th and 11th week, first of all. The evaluation can be modified by grades of semi-micro preparations, success of unknown identification as well as the outlook of the records of exercise book.

Making up for missed classes

Students have to contact their lab TA within 48 hours of missing lab to make the necessary arrangements.

Exam topics/questions

The written tests will contain the matter of practice.
