Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry
Designed for use as a supplement to a traditional text to encourage active and collaborative learning in the classroom, this activity book incorporates new methods for teaching chemistry that reflect current research on how students learn. The purpose of the guided inquiry approach is to teach you to think analytically and collaboratively in teams, like scientists do, rather than teaching you to memorize important conclusions arrived at by great scientists of the past. By looking carefully at new problems, constructing logical conclusions based on observations, and discussing the merits of your conclusions with peers, you'll develop a stronger conceptual understanding of and appreciation for the material. Honing your logical and empirical skills enables you to better pursue not only chemistry, but any other complex sets of ideas.

About the Author

Professor Straumanis teaches organic chemistry at the University of Texas in Austin. He holds a B.A. from Oberlin College, and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Stanford University, where he worked with Professor Jim Collman on synthetic mimics of the active sites of cytochrome c and cytochrome p450. He is a co-founder of The POGIL Project, and until 2019 served as Consulting Scientist and Executive Editor for that organization, which is dedicated to supporting faculty implementing research-based teaching methods. Prior to this, he was on the faculty and taught chemistry at the University of Washington in Seattle and the College of Charleston. He is the author of several textbooks on math and chemistry and has given more than 100 talks and workshops on active learning and the use of cooperative, guided discovery instruction in large, flipped classrooms.
