Who would benefit from this course?
The target audience for the course would primarily be:
High School Students in advanced chemistry courses, particularly those in AP Chemistry or other pre-college programs, focused on preparing students for STEM fields. These students would benefit from an introduction to organic chemistry concepts to build a strong foundation for further education.
First-Year College Students enrolled in introductory organic chemistry courses. These students are typically from diverse majors like Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Pre-medicine, Chemical Engineering, or related fields where a fundamental understanding of organic chemistry is crucial.
Students Transitioning from General to Organic Chemistry: Those who have completed general chemistry and are about to embark on or are in the early stages of their organic chemistry education. This would include first-year chemistry majors or those in interdisciplinary programs where organic chemistry is a core component.
Students in Pre-Professional Programs such as pre-med, pre-dental, or pre-pharmacy, where organic chemistry knowledge is not only required but essential for understanding biochemistry, pharmacology, and other life sciences.
Lifelong Learners or Professionals in related fields (like pharmacists, nurses, or teachers of science) who want to brush up on or expand their understanding of organic chemistry basics for professional development or personal interest.
Home-schooled students or Self-Learners who are structuring their own curriculum in chemistry to prepare for college-level courses or exams.
In summary, the course covers foundational aspects of organic chemistry, making them suitable for:
√ Beginners in Organic Chemistry who need to understand the basic principles before moving on to more complex topics.
√ Those Needing a Refresher or who wish to solidify their understanding of organic chemistry concepts.
These topics are fundamental to mastering organic chemistry, providing the groundwork for understanding how organic molecules behave, react, and are manipulated in both theoretical and practical contexts.

Testimonials
“I thought this book did a great treatment of chemistry. I purchased a subscription as an add-on for class. It is every bit a detailed and engaging than my boring chemistry textbook. This course reignited my interest in chemistry.” - Sheena
"Thank you so much for such an awesome content. I struggled before, but your course helped me get clarity. The illustrations are amazing and good content in itself. Looking forward to your reaction book.” – Ro
"Best chemistry course I've ever used. Chapters are compact but well-written and logically structured. Content is made interesting and infinitely useful to undergraduates. Highly recommend for one learning organic chemistry for the first time." – Jonathan
"Interesting chemistry course written by an expert who knows the subject matter and its application. The scope of each chapter is well-defined. The lessons were relevant and easy to understand. A lot of good content for passing my exams. I felt I received incredible value for the money spent. Thank you!" – Ashley
"An absolute gem of a coursebook, describing even the most complex concepts in a simple yet detailed manner that even *I* could understand. I would have liked it to have more practice questions, but otherwise, it was excellent. " – Elyse
"Excellent for strengthening fundamentals. Provides a good foundation for understanding OC. This course is the reason I’m doing well in Orgo so far." – Alexander
"Very good guide for students." – Devang
"My, how chemistry has changed! This guide is well-designed, has thoughtful illustrations, is colorful, and, I think, expertly written. As I began my study of organic chemistry, this book helped me understand the basics. One feature I like is that each page is kept short, and I can pick up where I left off. Navigation across the site was easy, and the main elements interlinked. " - Terry F.
"Big topics simply explained. Not too far into this one but enjoying it so far. There is lot to learn here. Science might not be for everyone especially Chemistry. This book makes difficult concept less boring and easier to understand. It is a great book for a Organo Chem beginner. " - HY
"I loved the author's notes above each chapter explaining its importance and what I need to know before I attempt each section. The sections were all connected. That's a plus for me. " - Marc
A course that is -

Why Organic Chemistry Fundamentals Course?
Hi, I am Sibi Atul, a former drug discovery Research Scientist and undergraduate teacher, and now a full-time writer and editor at CurlyArrows. I started CurlyArrows in 2015, when most chemistry concepts were studied through forums and Q&A. I truly believe that any complex concept can be well understood when explained using basic, jargon-free language and reinforced using visual images, storytelling, and examples. So, I have created an affordable, well-structured course on Introductory Organic Chemistry, a guide covering chemistry fundamentals, as a helpful starting point for anyone who wants to avoid getting lost and confused in organic reactions. By signing up, you would get complete access to an illustrated, descriptive, and easy-to-understand organic chemistry fundamental course, much simpler than other bulky chemistry reference books.
