Dr. Jerry Jenkins is the Chair of the Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry Department at Otterbein College. Dr. Jenkins is the author of the Organic Chemistry Workbook available from the W.H. Freeman publishing company. The 300 questions in the WebAssign version of this book are randomized versions of 659 questions selected from the more than 1,000 questions available in the print edition.

Question Collection Features: Questions requiring automatic assessment of student-drawn structures, including skeletal structures, Lewis structures, reaction mechanisms with electron-flow arrows ("pushing electrons"), isotopically-labeled reactions, and multi-step syntheses, use the popular MarvinSketch application. WebAssign grades these structures automatically, checking for stereo features, rings, chains, etc.

Questions requiring automatic assessment of chemical formulas and reaction equations use WebAssign's chemPad, an intuitive answer-entry palette with over 150 lines of intelligent answer feedback.

Other questions use a variety of response types, including fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, multiple-select and numerical entry.

Notice to Adopters: If you are used to JME, you'll find that MarvinSketch is a major step-up in capabilities. MarvinSketch supports a variety of structure drawing modes, including skeletal structures, Lewis structures, reaction mechanisms with electron-flow arrows (i.e., "pushing electrons"), isotopically-labeled reactions, and multi-step syntheses, all of which are scored automatically. Additionally, we have included our new chemPad utility to answer chemical formulas and reaction equations in standard chemical notation.
