Rigorous, Approachable, and Remarkably Human
Organic Chemistry, Humanized James has taken an extraordinarily complex subject and made it understandable, approachable, and genuinely human. He responds to criticism, of which there is very little, as a colleague rather than becoming defensive or combative. When an error is identified, and these are rare and generally related to web issues, he corrects it immediately and even follows up with a personal thank-you email. My students absolutely love this site. From the reaction maps to the practice problems, every resource is thoughtfully designed. The problem explanations do not simply provide the correct answer; they clearly and cleanly explain the reasoning behind it. Combined with James’s engaging, human approach to organic chemistry, this makes Master Organic Chemistry one of the finest educational resources available. Quite simply, this site is the best.
