BIMM 118 - Text Books
• Text Books:
Unfortunately, there is no perfect textbook for BIMM118,
(most pharmacology texts are aimed at students in medical schools,
schools of pharmacy etc., and are consequently far beyond the scope of
BIMM118)
Therefore, no textbook is required (all lecture notes are
posted on the website and are available for download).
A list of pharmacology books (with comments) is posted on
the course website -> Textbooks
BIMM118
Knowledge and understanding of the content posted on
the course website is sufficient for an A+ grade!
