The Course Description and Syllabus contains all of the details on the composition of the course, the exam dates, the grading scale, and policies.

 

A tentative schedule for the first half of the course is here, including due dates for ACEOrganic homework assignments.  The topics for each lecture are subject to immediate change, depending on daily progress in class.  Check this page frequently for updates. 

 

Old Exams and Keys.  These are real exams from previous semesters when Prof. Meier taught this course.  Note:  Some of these were written when we used a different textbook, so the order of topics was different.  As a result, the topics on Exam 1 this semester may differ from the topics on older Exam 1's.   Same for exams 2 – 4 as well.

 

Optional Problem Set.  If you choose to do this problems set and to hand it in by April 17, your score will be added to your exam total.  This is equivalent to increasing your score on one exam by as much as 20 points.  Realistically, this is a chance for you to demonstrate that you can draw a couple of basic mechanisms.  Here is the KEY.

 

ACE Instructions.  This page contains information on how to register for ACE Organic.  You are required to register in order to do the online homework assignments.  If you have trouble with ACE Organic, try these troubleshooting suggestions before contacting Professor Meier or Professor Grossman.
