| Limits for class size |
The number of places are limited. Students having KJM210 as a mandatory course are guaranteed a place. The rest of the students will be accepted based on the mandatory tests (multiple choice) given in the first half of the semester. All that do not have this as a mandatory course need to register for both KJM110 and KJM210 at the same time (please remember the dead-line). The teaching and lab course in the first part of the semester is identical for KJM210 and KJM110. |

| Type of course |
We will start the lectures in the block period (4 hours per week). This teaching is divided between lectures and problem solving. In the parallell there will be: Lectures: 4 hours per week (total of ca. 50 hours). Laboratory work: 4 hours per week for 5 weeks plus 6 hours of laboratory work per week for 5 weeks (total of 50 hours of laboratory work). Joint lab review: 1 hour for 10 weeks (5+5). Joint review of problem solving: 1 hour per week for first part of the semester, thereafter 2 hours of joint review (discussion groups) of problem solving per week (total of 10 hours). Problem solving: 2 hours per week. |
| Compulsory educational activities |
Laboratory course with an approved journal. Must be approved before exam. Participation in compulsory preparation hour for each separate laboratory exercise. Note that ALL laboratory excersises are compulsory (10 days). |
| Reduction of credits for overlapping courses |
KJM110, 10 credits. Note: If you already have passed KJM110 you should take KJM211 which is the additional course. |
| Prerequisites |
KJM100, or equivalent fundamental knowledge in chemistry. |

| Teaching methods |
Lectures. Colloquia with the teacher/teaching assistant present. The teacher will review exercises. Laboratory work which includes journals (compulsory) and a compulsory preparation hour for each separate laboratory exercise. Independent study. |
| Teaching support |
Help with calculation exercises and lab exercises will be offered by teaching assistants. Questions outside of lecture hours will be answered in office hours which will be announced at the beginning of the semester. |
| Examiner |
An external examiner approves the examination questions and grades the exams. |
| Entrance requirements |
Special requirements in Science

|
| Note |
|
The course starts in the autumn block. In the block period the more basic part of the course i.e. the first 3 chapters, will be lectured. This is highly recommended for all students and will make the understanding of the remaining chapters much easier. Note that the laboratory course is mandatory; you must complete all excersises and have an approved labjournal prior to the final exam to get a result.
Note! For those of you do not have KJM210 as a mandatory course it is important that you register for both KJM110 and KJM210 since the admission for KJM210 is limited. The two courses are identical until the end of October. |

| Objective of course |
|
Gain an overview over the most important groups of substances in organic chemistry and their nomenclature (naming). Gain an understanding of the properties and reaction patterns of organic substances. Become familiar with basic organic spectroscopy and organic laboratory techniques, with special emphasis on natural compounds. Achieve a general understanding of mechanisms in organic chemical reactions. Be able to place organic chemistry in a larger context with special emphasis on the reactions of the various functional groups. Be able to set up simple organic chemistry experiments including simple syntheses. |
