The source for suggested homework this semester (Fall 2019) will come from the recommended BCH 341 textbook(s). Specifically, most problems come from P. Atkin and J. De Paula, Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences, 2nd Ed. textbook. This textbook provides a good set of discussion questions, practical exercise problems and projects which combine to make a complete set of problems to ‘learn by doing’.
The long-term goal of online BCH341 (or in general BioPchem) is to have a set of ‘learn by doing’ problems that are similar in nature to Brilliant.Org
