Abstract:  Like several other schools, we have begun to teach organic first at Juniata College.  Unlike many of them, we have elected not to teach the standard sophomore organic course to the freshmen.  Recognizing that the students do not have the background of sophomores, we begin the course with some introductory material that cannot be treated as review. Recognizing that most of the students taking chemistry at Juniata are biology-oriented, we have incorporated biological applications throughout the course, not just in a final few chapters.  In order to make room for all this additional material, some material has been deleted.  Information of use primarily to chemists is postponed until junior year, when the audience is mostly chemists.  The result is a curriculum that starts with the biological aspects of organic chemistry, does inorganic and analytical chemistry in the sophomore year, and revisits organic in the junior year.  The talk will describe the origins of this curriculum, its advantages and disadvantages and some data concerning the success of students who have been through it.
