CHEM 301
ASSIGNMENTS
Completing Assignments and Problem Sets are an important part of the of the Learning Process. Remember, there are generally many ways to solve a good problem. I suggest you read over the questions and get clarification (if needed) early in the process. Although I encourage students to discuss questions with me and their peers, you must write up and present your own solutions.
Problem Sets cannot be completed in one night, so start early.
It is your job to present solutions in a clear and legible format indicating the fundamental relationships involved and stating assumptions.
