Practice doing problems by using ACE Organic

In collaboration with some UK computer scientists and the publisher Prenticeâ€“Hall, Professor Grossman has developed a new Web-based organic chemistry homework program called ACE Organic. This program asks you to draw organic structures in response to a question. If your answer is incorrect, you are given some feedback, but you are not told the correct answer. You need to keep trying until you get the right answer.

Your performance on the electronic homework problems (percentage of problems answered correctly, excluding the tutorials) will contribute 8% to your overall grade. You will be allowed an infinite number of tries to answer most questions, so there is no reason any person cannot score 100% on the electronic homework. Feel free to ask for help from me on any problems. Problems from the electronic homework have a very peculiar way of making their way onto exams. Last year's students found it most useful to do the ACE problems early and then to focus on the textbook problems closer to exam time.

We will be using the Prenticeâ€“Hall installation of ACE (hereafter ACE@PH), not the UK installation, which has a different URL. Your ACE username and password from Summer and Fall 2006 are not valid at ACE@PH. However, if you used ACE in Spring 2006 or earlier, you may still have an account at ACE@PH, although you will probably need to enter a new access code. Visit this page for instructions on gaining access to ACE@PH.
