| Most students who take organic chemistry have limited
interest in the subject. Frequently they are overwhelmed by the amount
and the level of difficulty of the material. In order to help students
understand and recall the material and make the lectures more
interesting, a number of illustrations, in a form of short comics, have
been developed. An example of illustration of “bow tie” convention for
drawing of Fischer projection formulas is shown here. Additional
examples such as use of “small animal convention” in drawing Fischer
projection formulas, an illustration of a Tollens' test, a way to make
study of organic nomenclature more interesting and an illustration of
role of keratin will be presented.
