Supplementary Problems

A series of supplementary problems and answers will be posted here. You should check these every week. I strongly suggest that you work these problems in a study group! They will be designed to be similar to what you will see on the exams. There will be two main types of questions: 1) Applying what you know about mechanisms or other issues to new situations and 2) Synthesis problems. The answers will be provided as well for you to check your work.
