Undergraduate students can find some aspects of NMR Spectroscopy daunting, and difficult to understand. Due to their flexibility and ease‐of‐use, ‘benchtop’ spectrometers can help to clarify key concepts and enhance learning. Here we suggest approaches to demystifying resolution, sensitivity, magnetic field variation and its consequent impact on spectra, quantitation and mixtures.
