Organic Chemistry Study Guide with Solutions Manual,   ISBN:9780716761723

Customer Rating: 

I've been using this solutions manual for about six weeks now, and I have found it generally helpful. I mainly only use it for the solutions to problems section, which is most times explanatory on answers. Rarely, however, a solution's explanation can be confusing, and sometimes the solution itself is very ambiguous. The study guide section for each chapter is very concise, and is to be studied only if one has read the actual textbook. Some sections aren't explained at all, and are left to the reader to re-read the textbook. These sections are ones that cannot be thoroughly explained without going into textbook-like detail, so I think that it is appropriate for the solutions manual to do this. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to someone who has the textbook, as the exercises in the textbook are most times not enough to supplement your understanding.

If you're in an ochem class that uses the Vollhardt and Schore textbook, I very strongly recommend buying this solutions manual. For each chapter it provides a section-by-section summary of the most important points and for the end of chapter questions it gives very detailed explanations of the answers. If an answer has the possibility of being unclear, it will explain, draw arrows, etc to make sure anyone can understand it. My favorite part is that it warns you about "tricks"; for example, in bold letters it will say tell you, "make sure you DON'T do this here", etc. Definitely worth the extra cost!

This solutions guide is really great. The answers to all of the problems are given (mostly with detailed solutions). There are also very short guides that supplement chapters in the book. I would STRONGLY recommend this manual for anyone using the Vollhardt/Schore Organic Chemistry textbook.
