There will be 44 scheduled lectures which includes an introduction (on the first day of class, Monday, August 22) and three one-hour-exams. The following course schedule is preliminary and I might lengthen or shorten parts of the course as I see fit depending on feedback. What this schedule provides is primarily the sequence of the material we will cover. Note that suggested reading and exercises & self-study will be specified in the last two columns. These self-study assignments will be added as the semester progresses. You should have read the chapters before that lecture is given. We will omit parts of various chapters and appropriate announcements will be made in class. And remember: Chemistry can be great fun but good things never come easy!

Electron Spin Resonance (EPR) and Photoelectron Spectroscopy are not yet included in this course but might be taught in future. Please refer to the more comprehensive and permanently updated bibliography on Organic Spectroscopy for details.
