The Study Guide also contains Workbook Exercises, created by Professor Brian Coppola of the University of Michigan. These exercises are designed to help you review previous material and to introduce you to the problem-solving skills you will need for new material. They are found only in the Study Guide, and no answers are given for them. Many of the exercises can be explored with other students in your class.
This Study Guide contains two features to help you to study more effectively. The sections on the Art of Problem Solving in the textbook show you how to analyze problems in a systematic way by asking yourself questions about the structural changes in and the reactivity of the reagents shown in the problem. These same questions are used in arriving at the answers shown in the Study Guide for some of the problems. If you follow the reasoning shown in these answers, you will review the thinking patterns that are useful in solving problems.
