Organic Chemistry as a Second Language
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-1-119-83709-1 (ISBN)
Covering the initial half of the course, Organic Chemistry as a Second Language: First Semester Topics reviews critical principles and explains their relevance to the rest of the course. Each section provides hands-on exercises and step-by-step explanations to help students fully comprehend classroom lectures and textbook content. Now in the 6th edition, there are approximately 30 new end-of-chapter exercises in each chapter. These new exercises vary in difficulty, starting with exercises that focus on just one skill or concept (called Practice Problems), and continuing with exercises that focus on more than one skill or concept (called Integrated Problems), and concluding with advanced exercises (called Challenge Problems).
There are also author-created, detailed solutions for all new exercises, and these detailed solutions appear in the back of the book.
David Klein is a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University where he teaches Organic and General Chemistry. He is a dynamic and creative teacher and uses analogy to help students grasp difficult topics. Klein's unique informal voice and manner of presentation help students truly master key topics in this course. He is also the author of Organic Chemistry as a Second Language; response to this book has been phenomenal.
