Students in organic chemistry need to be able to bridge the gap between theory (concepts) and practice (problem-solving skills). Klein's SkillBuilder examples and activities offer extensive opportunities for students to develop proficiency in the key skills necessary to succeed in organic chemistry.
David Klein is a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University where he teaches Organic and General Chemistry. He is a dynamic and creative teacher and uses analogy to help students grasp difficult topics. Klein's unique informal voice and manner of presentation help students truly master key topics in this course. He is also the author of Organic Chemistry as a Second Language; response to this book has been phenomenal.
