Organic Chemistry Student Study Guide/Solutions Manual

I didn't get the hardback copy on time so he e-mailed me and said that he would refund it for the full amount and send me an online copy of the solutions manual for free. So, I would certainly recommend this seller!

It's a good product very helpful as a supplement to the book. Provides the answers to the problems as well as (in most cases) how they got the answers.

It's common nowadays to come across solution manuals which give "hints" to the even problems, and sloppily "solve" every 5th problem while skipping steps and making a big confusing mess out of the material. However, this solution manual contains a clear and concise step-by-step solution to EVERY practice problem in the chapter (~25 per chapter) as well as a step-by-step solution to EVERY problem at the end of each chapter (~60 more per chapter). In fact, this manual is as complete as a teacher's solution guide, which can't be legally distributed to students. In a way, this product is more important than the textbook itself for the casual organic chemistry student.

Several sample problems are worked out in every chapter to illustrate the material covered. They are all very clearly explained. In addition, there are also more than enough problems at the end of each chapter to help students better understand the topics covered, however the answers are not provided in the back of the textbook. This is precisely why the solutions manual is a must buy. I have worked all the problems presented from chapter 1 to chapter 21 (to include the end of chapter problems), and I have encountered only two or three "bad problems" for which the answers were not explained clearly. Almost every answer to every problem is clearly illustrated - some concepts are even better explained in the solutions manual than in the textbook! It's expensive, but it's worth the money if you use it properly. I'd wish the buyer good luck in this class, but I doubt any disciplined, devoted student would need it after using this text.

I love that the author basically gives you her own notes. She breaks everything down very well.
