About your course materials

Williamson/Masters' MACROSCALE AND MICROSCALE ORGANIC EXPERIMENTS, 8th Edition, is a refreshing update to the classic, authoritative Fieser lab text content. Improved content organization and chapter readability, along with eye-catching graphics, make this edition an easier and more engaging read for your students. New features include “Lab Logics!” callouts and “Before-During-After” models that aid in student thinking and understanding. Instruments and experiments have been updated with current content, and this edition is spiral-bound -- making it easier to use while in lab. In addition, some chapters' questions give sufficient space for students to answer as they are reading or working in the lab. Most experiments still offer a flexible mix of macroscale and microscale options, emphasizing safety and allowing you to save on the purchase and disposal of expensive, sometimes hazardous, organic chemicals. Macroscale versions for less costly experiments allow students to experience working with conventionally-sized glassware.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enroll in or join my course?

Your instructor will tell you how to access your course. You may join through your school’s LMS, a course link or a course key. If you’re unsure which method to use, check with your instructor.

How do I redeem an access code, or what if my code isn't working?

Sign in to your Cengage account and select Enter Access Code or Course Key, then enter your access code and select Register. If your code is damaged, missing or still doesn't work, contact Cengage Support.

Why can't I access my course?

How you access your course depends on how your instructor set it up. Start from your LMS, course link or course key. If you've purchased access but still can't open the course, Cengage Help can help you troubleshoot your access.

Where can I find my eBook or textbook?

You can access available eBooks from your Cengage student dashboard or from your Cengage course. If your class uses an LMS, your instructor may also provide access there.

What if I don't have access to my course materials yet?

Temporary access may be available for some Cengage courses. If offered, you can use your course during the grace period and purchase or register your access code before it ends. Options for expired access vary by product.
