'How to succeed in organic chemistry' gives the reader a solid
understanding of the principles of organic reaction mechanisms, such
that they can draw structures, stereoisomers and reaction mechanisms
with confidence. Throughout, the author speaks the language of students
to build their confidence and interest.
At heart, the book promotes active learning to ensure the necessary
skills become so ingrained that they become something students simply
cannot forget, and do not need to revise. As such, the book structures
learning so that the reader encounters the right things at the right
time, helping to 'internalise' key concepts.
Concepts, explanations and examples are presented in short, easy-to-read
chapters, each of which explores one of a number of themes, including
'Basics', 'Habits', 'Common error', 'Reaction detail', and 'Practice'.
The text is accompanied by over 40 videos, in which the author discusses
the solutions to problems posed in the text, thereby giving even more
support and encouragement to the learner.
