Having your questions answered is a huge part of learning Organic Chemistry. I am sort of stating the obvious there I know. Unfortunately, in the past, attendance at my office hours usually only reached about 20% of the class (or less) most of the time. We now offer a variety of formats based on 30 years of experience with helping students. Each format is specifically targeted to different student needs, preparation levels and ways of learning. We assume all of you will watch the on-line simulcast office hours on Thursdays from 5:30 - 7 PM, but we also assume you will attend at least one of the other formats at least once per week.
