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.

Mondays 3:30-4:30 PM Active Problem Solving Room: PAR 201 (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.
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! No Hawaiian shirts required if you attend in person, although they are recommended. We assume that all of you will be coming to this office hour or at least watching the recording. Click here to attend by live streaming. Click here to attend by live Zoom.
Wednesday 5-6 PM Iverson In-person Office Hours Room: WEL 1.316 (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.
Thursday 5-7 PM "Missed the Wave" Office Hours Room: PAI 4.42 (recorded) - Falling behind a little, no worries. We got you. It happens to everyone, especially in OChem II. This office hour is specifically for people who feel they need help catching up or want to discuss older material. One of the TAs will lead this. If you ever feel you are missing the wave during the semester, THIS IS THE OFFICE HOUR FOR YOU!
Friday 2-3 PM Active Problem Solving Room: PAR 201 -- 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!
