This semester course provided useful background information in organic chemistry by covering topics not typically found in high school chemistry courses. The course provided insight into the importance of the chemistry of carbon compounds to our daily lives. Topics covered included organic nomenclature, structural formulas, stereochemistry, bonding, reaction mechanisms, and chemical transformations of functional groups. Taking this course has helped me become more confident in my chemical background as I look forward to college biology or chemistry courses.
