<p>It’s not listed on Mocha yet. Am I correct in assuming that they’re the same as the ones for Chem 0360 (except a different lab manual)?</p>
<p>Organic Chemistry, Second Edition
Thomas N. Sorrell Required</p>
<p>Solutions to Exercises, Organic Chemistry, Second Edition
Thomas N. Sorrell Required </p>
<p>LAB MANUAL
HESS Required </p>
<p>Molecular Visions Organic Modeling Kit
Darling Not Required</p>
<p>And is the Organic Modeling Kit worth getting?</p>
<p>I would think it’s the same, model kit is definitely not worth getting.</p>
<p>That text book is not very good, FWIW, there are far better choices for a single organic chemistry text.</p>
<p>Clayden is my preference.</p>
<p>You mean you’d recommend getting that instead of the Sorrell book, or in addition to?</p>
<p>I would probably recommend it instead of Sorell. More information, more quality information, better explanation, covers the same material plus 50% and explains it better.</p>
<p>In my experience the textbook is only used in the sense that they say, “We’re doing Chapter ____ in class right now,” and some professors will list problems in the book that are helpful for exams. It may hurt you becuase the book will not be organized in the same order, but as a reference on your shelf the Clayden is FAR superior and even as a first time reader it’s better.</p>
<p>I wish the department would just have the Clayden assigned and you’d hold on to that for CH145 rather than having the Sorell, Volhardt, or various other crappy first year OChem books first and then have you buy the Clayden anyway as you advance.</p>
<p>Is Zimmt still working on a textbook or was that all a big joke he was making when I took orgo?</p>
