Exams are your opportunity to explain the course material to your instructor. In other words, when taking an exam, you become the teacher. To do well in that situation, you should practice explaining the chemistry to each other as much as possible before the exams. Studying together helps both the confused and the knowledgable. The student who feels more comfortable to begin with gains a deeper understanding of the material by explaining it.
Organic chemistry is a living, active science.
This class provides a framework which you can use to understand current organic chemistry research. If you are looking for more study problems, having done all the ones in the chapter and on this website, go to the chemistry library and look at a current issue of the Journal of Organic Chemistry or the Journal of the American Chemical Society . Make up your own questions, based on the chemistry you read about, and quiz each other. Don't read the chapter word by word from the beginning. Leaf through it first, looking at the headings, pictures, and problems.
