Built for the way students learn organic chemistry

Organic Chemistry: A Learner-Centered Approach teaches students how to learn Organic Chemistry. Author Rick Mullins' friendly and conversational style establishes an authentic rapport through a balance of authority and humor. Using pedagogy driven by modern learning science, he continuously moves students away from memorization of facts and superficial shortcuts — leading them to become better problem solvers with a fuller understanding of the fundamental principles that link essential concepts.

The interactive and socratic narrative incorporates Rick's personal classroom style — creating a dialog with the students while coaching them through mechanisms to emphasize the why behind chemical reactivity. This unique approach makes difficult concepts clear and accessible, without sacrificing rigor — enabling students to succeed in organic chemistry by understanding the chemical logic behind the problem-solving process.
