What to look out for in UMD CHEM 131
-
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 just to enter. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to avoid this struggle, as I'll provide you my whole exam set!
-
Course Similarities
The only difference between CHEM 131 and CHEM 135 are Exam 3 topics.
-
Competitive Office Hours
Students tend to wait ~30 minutes before the professor opens their door, just to be the 1st to ask their own questions.
-
Exam 3 Overlap
Exam 3 tests on the same chapters as Exam 1 and 2 in CHEM 271. You could potentially ask upperclassmen for help, or tutor 1-on-1 with me to gain clarity for this class.
Study Tips for CHEM 131 Exams
Don't Cram
Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
Keep Going
Redo a problem 5 times - this helps cement your knowledge, and recall it under high pressure testing environment.
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.
