What to look out for in UMD CHEM 271
-
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!
-
Unique to UMD
CHEM 271 Lecture & 272 Lab are unique classes to UMD only. They are taken after Orgo 2 and designed so that students cannot opt out of 272 via transfer credit.
-
Curve Setback
Students frequently have classmates who have taken CHEM 271 before, making it their 2nd attempt (or even 3rd attempt) and therefore putting first-timers at a disadvantage for the grading curve.
-
Absence Policy
After an emergency, including hospitalization, ~80% of UMD chem professors expect you to take their exam same time as everyone else when you return to campus.
Study Tips for CHEM 271 Exams
Don't Cram
Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
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.
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.
