Organic Chemistry 1, Second Edition

Description

Welcome to Organic Chemistry. The workshop part of this course provides a small group setting that will complement the larger lecture setting. Your workshop will be led by a peer leader, an undergraduate student who has demonstrated a strong command of Organic Chemistry and who is trained for this leadership position. This resource book helps you and the workshop peer leaders conduct each week’s activities. Both the lecture and the workshop are guided by your professor; the workshop is led by the peer leader. Workshops are designed to reinforce lecture topics through practice, discussion, and small group activities. [From the Preface]
