Organic chemistry is cumulative. So the final exam will test
all knowledge that you accumulated in chapters 1-11. Remember,
if a topic is not covered in my notes, then it will not appear on a
test or exam. However, tests and quizzes ARE NOT simple regurgitation
of the class notes. You must apply what you learn in class and
from your text in new situations. You are going to have to study
hard to do well!
