Overview

Created by an experienced GOB instructor, Mahaffey’s "Laboratory Experiments for General, Organic, and Biochemistry" goes beyond simple laboratory procedures, offering students detailed guidance in the lab, as well as connecting chemistry to future careers in healthcare. LabSkills modules, available in WebAssign, introduce students to key laboratory equipment, procedures and safety protocols. Detailed instructor resources provide guidance to teaching assistants who may be teaching the laboratory course for the first time as well as support for using the manual in either a one-term or full-year GOB lab course.
