Organic Chemistry
P. Stonebraker
Organic Chemistry II lecture
UCB Extension
Spring 2013 Extra Credit Report
Papers
Paper is strictly optional.
Write a 4-6 page paper on a subject approved by the instructor (either picked from the list below or picked by yourself). Emphasis in the paper should be on the organic chemistry associated with the subject (how it is synthesized, uses, etc.). No two students can research the same subject. Maximum value of the paper will likely in the 20-40 point range, depending on the quality and length. Papers will be due May 3rd two days after the final exam. Papers must be submitted electronically to my mailbox by 5pm May 3, 2013. Papers submitted after that time frame will not be reviewed.
