The Chemistry Assignment

The Chemistry Assignment will be going on over the next couple of weeks. What to do:

1. Make sure students use their quick reference guides (the front/back handout) to get ideas for places to look. Point them to the books or sit them at a computer and show them how to find the databases.

2. For more sources of information, and for extra copies of that guide or the assignment, check the course website.

3. If the Dictionary of Organic Compounds (online via ChemNetBase) doesn't lead to a synthesis reference, use SciFinder. The steps for doing so are outlined here. I'm leaving some copies at the reference desk. But feel free to print it out and give it to students.

4. Refer difficult cases to me.

Thanks!
