Organic Chemistry: A Learner-Centered Approach teaches you how to learn organic chemistry. Rick Mullins' friendly, conversational style establishes a rapport using authority and humor. He draws on modern learning science to move you away from memorization, leading you to become a better problem solver who understands the principles linking concepts. 

The narrative builds a dialog, coaching you through mechanisms and chemical reactivity. This approach equips you to succeed in organic chemistry by understanding the chemical logic behind the problem-solving process.
