Assignments in Physical Chemistry,
CHEM 443
University of Delaware
Fall, 2012
- This is a tentative assignment sheet. Check back often for changes as the semester progresses.
- Reading assignments refer to sections. Read sections BEFORE topics are discussed in lecture; reread afterwards; reread again, if necessary.
- Problems are to be attempted immediately after studying material. If you have difficulty with a problem, seek help immediately from an instructor; rework problems until you are certain that you know the concepts involved in problem-solving, not just how to solve a particular problem._ It helps to work ahead on problems._ Above all, do not fall behind.
- Answers to many problems are available in Student’s Solutions Manual for Physical Chemistry by Thomas Engel and Philip Reid, available from the publisher. Try other problems at the end of each chapter to see if you understand how to work problems.
- You are welcome to study together, but be sure YOU have learned how to do problems on your own if you expect to pass the course._ Do not fool yourself. Seeing another person work a problem will not ingrain in you the problem-solving tools to answer quiz and exam questions.
- Be
sure to read the Course Policies: http://www.udel.edu/pchem/C443/c443pol.htm
