This course will introduce you to the basic techniques employed in the organic chemistry laboratory.  It is through these methods that so much in our world is possible; from medicines and foods to just about anything we purchase as consumers.  You will learn to think and record data like a scientist by performing experiments and formulating reports in a lab notebook.  You will make organic compounds and use modern spectroscopy techniques to indentify them.  All it will take to be successful is a little attention to detail.
