Office Hours Information

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. We assume all of you will watch the on-line simulcast office hours on Tuesdays from 3:30 - 5 PM, but we also assume you will attend at least one of the other formats at least once per week. See recordings by clicking here.

Tuesdays 3:30-5 PM Studio is BUR 124 Iverson Live Virtual Simulcast Office Hours (recorded) - I will provide prepared explanations of the most difficult material, answer questions you submit from your computers, and I will work through difficult examples with you. You can also attend in person in the very cool broadcast studio (BUR 124)! No Hawaiian shirts required if you attend in person, although they are recommended. We assume that all of you will be coming or tuning in to this office hour or at least watching the recording. Click here to attend by live streaming. Click here to attend by live Zoom.

Mondays 3:30-4:30 PM Problem Solving Office Hour Room: BUR 212 (recorded) - Historically, students say these are THE BEST WAY TO SUCCEED IN THE COURSE. New and challenging problems will be presented, and you will work in groups to solve them. TA’s will be there to answer your questions in an informal setting. These optional sessions will provide the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you have about any of the course material as well. 

Wednesdays 4-5 PM Iverson In-person Office Hours Room: BUR 106 (recorded) - I will be answering questions in a standard format office hour each week. Attend this if you have specific questions about the material being currently discussed in lecture.

Thursdays 3-5 PM "Missed the Wave" Office Hours Room: POB 2.402 (These are NOT recorded) - Falling behind a little, no worries. We got you.  It happens to everyone, especially in OChem I. This office hour is specifically for people who feel they need help catching up or want to discuss older material. One of the TA’s will lead this. If you ever feel you are missing the wave during the semester, THIS IS THE OFFICE HOUR FOR YOU! 

Fridays 2-3 PM Problem Solving Office Hour Room: PAI 3.02 (recorded) -- Historically, students say these are THE BEST WAY TO SUCCEED IN THE COURSE. This will be a repeat of the Tuesday session, no need to attend both!

Special Review of General Chemistry material

Wednesday, August 27, 7-9 PM, WEL 1.308 (recorded). We have found it helpful to hold a two-hour review at the beginning of the course to review first semester material, with an emphasis on exactly which first semester material is the most important as we begin second semester OChem.

The following review sessions are designed to help you as much as possible prepare for the exams (recorded).
