Syllabus
Course overview and goals
As organic chemistry has a long history, it is well organized. They have good textbooks. Students use such a good textbook. Projected slides will not be used, because writing chemical equations is very important in organic chemistry study.
Course description and aims
The goal of this lecture is to know the synthesis and reactions of carbonyl compounds. Organic compounds are changing characteristics by changing their chemical structure. The object is to know these changes.

Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
