Organic Chemistry II
From January 20, 2009, the attendace policy has been forcefully implemented. Attendance of students will be recorded solely according to their physical presence during the lectures, regardless of Doctor's notes or phone calls prior to class.
Students can only access the contents of relevant courses with provided username and password in their first class at the beginning of each semester. Students who fail to attend the first class should immediately contact the instructor to obtain the respective username and password.
