Handouts

I have posted two handouts, one which offers some “insider” insights into learning chemistry and the other, which introduces the concept, or art, of drawing “arrow-pushing” mechanisms. Although the latter topic will not be immediately covered in class, it is well worth investing time to read this handout and familiarize yourself with this centrally important means of representing organic reaction mechanisms.

Welcome Back

Welcome to UIC and to CHEM 494. Our first class meeting is on Thursday, August 26th at 4.30 p.m. in Science & Engineering South, Room 170.
