There are several ways to get in touch with me if you have a question about one of my courses, or you just want to sit back and talk about Organic Chemistry. My office is Room 517, Level 5 of the School of Chemistry. I have office hours during semester 11:30 to 12:30 on Wednesdays. Office hours are when I'm guaranteed to be available either in the office or online. It's very likely at other times I'll be busy (we do research when we're not teaching), so you can try to email me to set up an appointment. If you see me in the School, or generally around, just talk to me about science.<br>

Notes

It's very important to realise that we may not go through everything in class. Handouts remain the best guide to what is examinable. A better guide: past papers.

All handouts will be on University of Sydney Blackboard.

An Example Worked Answer to Illustrate Allocation of Marks

So there are old-style PDF handouts, for reference, but you should use the wiki pages which have more detail/description. Best thing to do, if you're worried about the exam, is to do past papers. If you want to change the wiki pages (students have done so), please go ahead, but you might want to just flag that with me so I can see what you've done.

Some sources/books:

There is a very nice online series of notes on pericyclic reactions from Tim Wallace (University of Manchester)
