Description

CHEM 125A: Freshman Organic Chemistry I (Fall 2008, Open Yale Courses). Instructor: Professor J. Michael McBride.

This is the first semester in a two-semester introductory course focused on current theories of structure and mechanism in organic chemistry, their historical development, and their basis in experimental observation. The course is open to freshmen with excellent preparation in chemistry and physics, and it aims to develop both taste for original science and intellectual skills necessary for creative research.
