A Student-Centred Approach to Learning and Studying Organic Chemistry

Wade & Simek’s 9th Edition of Organic Chemistry presents key principles of organic chemistry in the context of fundamental reasoning and problem solving. Authored to complement how students use a textbook today, new Problem Solving Strategies, Partially Solved Problems, Visual Reaction Guides and Reaction Starbursts encourage students to use the text before class as a primary introduction to organic chemistry as well as a comprehensive study tool for working problems and/or preparing for exams. With unparalleled and highly refined pedagogy, this edition gives students a contemporary overview of organic principles and the tools for organising and understanding reaction mechanisms and synthetic organic chemistry.
