"I created this guide because of the importance of organic chemistry. Organic chemistry serves as the foundation for understanding the world's unique molecules that form basic life. We use organic chemistry in our everyday lives through the products we use and medications we take. Organic chemists are vital in developing pharmaceuticals, ensuring the safety and efficiency of a broad range of drugs. So, organic chemistry education acts as a catalyst for fostering knowledge on the medications we take, foods we eat, and even climate change. The future of chemistry is dependent on novices currently taking classes like organic chemistry, but so far educators have failed to provide sufficient knowledge and skills on the topic."
