Organic Chemistry 1 - CHE-3331
As a supplement to your lectures and in-class instruction, you may find these videos helpful. As O CHEM is a newly launched series, the current versions of these videos have yet to be reviewed by Baylor O CHEM professors. We hope to have final versions available in the Fall of 2022. As always, your professors are your primary resource and you should consult them if anything is unclear.
