BIMM118 BIMM 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 -> Textbookscourse website Knowledge and understanding of the content posted on the course website is sufficient for an A + grade!
