Essentials of General, Organic and Biochemistry by Denise Guinn is now available as a WebAssign Premium product--designed to provide you with the most powerful online homework solution to complement your course and your students with a fully interactive and affordable learning experience!

WebAssign Premium includes over 2300 online homework problems, interactive tutorials and resources, and a complete eBook at one low price.

Integrated into WebAssign Premium are a number of dynamic student resources developed specifically for Essentials of General, Organic, and Biochemistry. Every problem includes a link to the appropriate section of a complete eBook (also available through a dynamic table of contents from their WebAssign homepage). Other premium resources include:

  • INTERACTIVE TUTORIALS reinforce the concepts presented in the classroom, providing students with self-paced explanation and practice.
  • CHEMCASTS replicate the face-to-face experience of watching an instructor work a problem. Using a virtual whiteboard, the ChemCast tutors show students the steps involved in solving key worked examples, while explaining the concepts along the way. The worked examples were chosen with the input of general, organic, and biochemistry chemistry students.
  • VIRTUAL MODEL KIT allows students to build molecular structures on the computer screen. Students select elements and bonds according to instructions in the text's Model Tool activities, as well as from additional exercises available within the associated Web site and homework system. After constructing the models, students are presented with automatically graded questions to probe their experience.
