What to look out for in UMD CHEM 231
-
Not Enough Resources
Students frequently make the long trek to office hours just to take pictures of old exams. Sometimes they encounter canceled office hours or a 20+ minute wait before just to enter. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to avoid this struggle, as I'll provide you my whole exam set!
-
Secret Curve Cutoffs
Only 1 professor doesn't grade CHEM 231 on a curve - Dr. Davis - who has a set cutoff system. The professors who grade on a curve refuse to share their cutoff with students.
-
Continue Learning
You should take Orgo 2 immediately after CHEM 231 Orgo 1. Taking a break from the Orgo “mindset” is very disruptive to your chemistry education and you’ll experience a painful learning curve getting back into the electron pushing mindset.
-
Homework Points
UMD professors rarely base exam questions off of the online homework system - they are just for extra points. Ignoring them may tank your grade by 1 letter.
Study Tips for CHEM 231 Exams
Don't Cram
Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
Study the RIGHT Material
There are no common exams or finals at UMD. This means you should prioritize studying with classmates who are taking the SAME professor.
Ask Questions
Be bold and ask direct questions when you're stuck - there's value in wrong answers so you can recognize and avoid them.
