Very Necessary for Doing Well in Orgo
Customer Rating:
Every orgo teacher is different (obviously), but without question, all orgo students need to make this a staple in their studying library. It offers more questions than most generic orgo textbooks that help you beat the concept into your head. Also, it offers helpful explanations and step-by-step processes for a lot of confusing questions. Spend the money!
Check It Out From Your Library
Customer Rating:
The book is your source to a plethora of additional problems. Yet don't expect the exam problems to be similar to those you find in this Schaum series. You might find some of these problems extra strenuous or over-simplified. For all the major functional groups, the book does provide lots of practice problems in reaction products, reactivity, and stereochemistry. You might need to cover up the solutions which immediately follow the questions. Students should foucs on soloving the mechanism-type of problems from textbooks before looking at this book. Check this out from your library!
Not helpful
Customer Rating:
The answers directly follow the questions, which are not useful to make you think about organic chemistry. Very dissapointing.
A WASTE OF MONEY
Customer Rating:
THE TYPES OF PROBLEMS THAT YOU WILL GET IN CLASS WILL NEVER BE AS SIMPLE OR COMPLEX AS THE ONES IN THIS BOOK. YOUR BETTER OFF DOING THE QUESTIONS OUT OF THE TEXT BOOK FOR YOUR CLASS!
