Dr. K's Introductory Organic Chemistry

Prepare for Organic Chemistry with this comprehensive course! Designed for nursing students, science majors, and pre-med students, this course provides a strong foundation in organic chemistry basics. A solid understanding of General Chemistry is recommended – ideally a year of coursework, but completion of the first semester is often sufficient.

You'll gain access to a wealth of supplemental materials within the Resource Folders, including downloadable audio MP3 files of all 18.5 hours of lectures, allowing you to learn on the go. Reinforce your understanding with Practice Assignments (with answer keys!) available for nearly every lecture. Downloadable versions of all graphs, figures, and tables presented in the lectures are also included.

This course covers material comparable in depth to my popular General Chemistry courses on Udemy. We assume you have a foundational understanding of atomic structure, electron configuration, covalent bonding, electronegativity, Lewis Dot Structures, molecular geometry, and hybridization – topics typically covered in General Chemistry I. Familiarity with acid-base chemistry and equilibrium is a definite plus.

Section 2 offers a helpful review of key General Chemistry topics essential for success in organic chemistry. While this course focuses on the fundamentals, it's a great starting point for anyone new to organic chemistry. Please note that advanced topics like Infrared Spectroscopy, Chromatography, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance are not covered in this introductory course.

Boost your academic performance and build a strong base in organic chemistry with this well-structured and supportive course.
