CHEM10004: Chemistry 2

Practical 20%
Online Quiz (3 mid semester quizzes) 6%
End of semester exam (3hr) 74%

Tips: Do your best for practical as the demonstrator seems to be more lenient in giving full marks for the prac report compared to in semester 1 chem 1.

Go to tutorials and get involved in answering the questions! My tutorial class group were pretty engaging and the tutor seems to like it that way. Plus, you'll learn more.

The extra help classes in Learning Centre are really useful and the tutors are more than happy to help you (Don't wait until swotvac cause there would be a lot of people getting last minute explanations from them)

Organic chemistry:
Prepare and organize your organic chem notes (reaction mechanism, reagents used and the products of the reaction). It will be an advantage if you know your organic stuff really well since the exam tend to emphasize on this part (Khan academy videos helped me a lot in understanding this stuff although the lecturers were really good as well). Familiarize yourself with the mechanisms etc by doing lots of practices perhaps draw a good mind map for the reactions.

Quantum Mechanic,
Some might find it hard but you'll do alright if you have any background physic knowledge from year 12 etc. though there were a few new topics. Prof Alessandro is good in explaining this but keep in mind that he tend to go over them really fast.

Yes, with screen capture

Professor Richard O'Hair - Organic Chem (He's really good!)
Associate Professor Craig Hutton - Organic Chem
Professor Robert Lamb - Kinetics (He's awesome)
Dr Alessandro Soncini - Quantum Mechanics
Associate Professor Guy Jameson - Electrochemistry & Introduction to d-block chemistry
Dr Stephen Best - Coordination Chemistry and Transition-Metal Chemistry

Yes (usually the past 5 years) with solutions.

Lecture slides are sufficient but Chemistry3 2e by Burrows textbook is recommended

3 × 1hr lecture per week
1 × 1hr tutorial per week
