Learning organization

All of the material in this text and most of chemistry generally can be understood on the basis of what physicists call the electromagnetic force Its major principle is that opposite charges attract and like charges repel As you learn organic chemistry a good way to start to connect structure to properties such as chemical reactivity is to find the positive part of one molecule and the neg ative part of another Most of the time these will be the reactive sites... 

One of the surest wavs to learn organic chemistry is to work synthesis problems. The ability to plan a successful multistep synthesis of a complex molecule requires a working knowledge of the uses and limitations of a great many organic reactions. Not only must you know which reactions to use, you must also know when to use them because the order in which reactions are carried out is often critical to the success of the overall scheme.

That is the concept. But it is important to remember, as my colleague, Peter Critten (1993), has pointed out, that the learning organization is not something that exists out there ... 

The learning organization in this view is not so much created by deliberate planning, but emerges from the myriads of Interdependent learning activities that go within an organization when all its members are committed to learning. 

The learning organization is a great ideal to work towards. Judging by the popularity of the idea among management... 

Herein lies one of the difficulties of synthetic planning. We tend to learn organic reactions in the forward direction—that is, reactants A and B give product C. This type of information handling is a convergent process in that a set of conditions is imposed which leads to a limited number of potential outcomes—in most cases a single product ... 

This study guide and solutions book was written to help you learn organic chemistry. The principles and facts of this subject are not easily learned by simply reading them, even repeatedly. Formulas, equations, and molecular structures are best mastered by written practice. To help you become thoroughly familiar with the material, we have included many problems within and at the end of each chapter in the text. 

This question-answer format serves several useful functions. It shows the student where he should begin each synthetic problem, namely with Ihc desired product. It allows the student to always arrive at the correct product, since he is beginning the synthetic sequence with it. A complicated synthetic scheme containing several steps is broken down into a scries of simple one-step reactions. The format compels the student to fully understand a reaction since he must know how to use it in a forward and backward manna. Success is attained in working problems and this in turn leads to encouragement and over-all success in learning organic chemistry. 

The best way to learn organic chemistry is to use it. You will certainly need to read and reread all the material in the chapter, but this level of understanding is just the beginning. Problems are provided so you can work with the ideas, applying them to new compounds and new reactions that you have never seen before. By working problems, you force yourself to use the material and fill in the gaps in your understanding. You also increase your level of self-confidence and your ability to do well on exams. 

You can t learn organic chemistry—there s just too much of it. You can learn trivial things like the names of compounds but that doesn t help you understand the principles behind the subject. You have to understand the principles because the only way to tackle organic chemistry is to learn to work it out. That is why we have provided end-of-chapter problems. They are to help you discover if you have understood the material presented in each chapter. In general, the 10-15 problems at the end of each chapter start easy and get more difficult. They come in two sorts. The first, generally shorter and easier, allow you to revise the material in that chapter. The second asks you to extend your understanding of the material into areas not covered by the chapter. In the later chapters this second sort will probably revise material from previous chapters.
