Study Guide/Solutions Manual for Organic Chemistry 3rd Edition, Janice Smith



Written by Janice Gorzynski Smith and Erin R. Smith, the Student Study Guide/Solutions Manual provides step-by-step solutions to all in-chapter and end-of-chapter problems. Each chapter begins with an overview of key concepts and includes key rules and summary tables.

I used this solutions manual extensively during my Organic Chemistry class this past term. When I used this manual to help study, my exam scores were 10-15 points higher than when I did not use the book. This manual is not just an answer key like many textbooks (particularly math books) include in the back; this is a full solutions book. By this I mean the manual has the entire solution, including all the steps involved to reach the answer, for every single problem in the Smith Organic Chem (3rd edition) text. Physically speaking, the manual is an 8.5x11 B/W paperback volume about an inch thick. The color image that appears above is actually the cover of the textbook it goes with. To sum up, the content of the solution manual is great and dramatically improved my test scores, but the price is very high.

I felt myself struggling in Organic Chem and my professor had mentioned a solution manual for our textbook. Although the price was quite high I figured I would try it out anyways. This manual is great. Not only does it give you the answers to all the problems in the textbook but it gives you additional information on how to get the answer. For example on reaction problems instead of just giving the products, the solution manual goes through the entire reaction so you can see how the products are formed. Without this manual I don't know if I would have made it through Organic Chem!
