<p>Does anyone know what textbook is used for this course?</p>
<p>Welcome to these boards, and I gather (from your name) to the U Chicago.</p>
<p>Honors general chem this year is using Oxtoby & Nachtrieb, Principles of Modern Chemistry (6th ed.). No guarantee they will use the same book next year, but I think they have been using it for awhile.</p>
<p>My daughter is class of 2012 and talking honors gen chem this year. The class is challenging and a lot of work, but she is managing and doing well. The level is quite a bit beyond her high school AP chem class. All of the students are pretty serious science students – not many premeds (although my daughter is considering medical school). If you like chemistry, give the honors sequence a try.</p>
