What to look out for in UMD CHEM 241
-
Curve Setback
Students frequently have classmates who have taken CHEM 241 before, making it their 2nd attempt (or even 3rd attempt) and therefore putting first-timers at a disadvantage for the grading curve.
-
Course Structure
90% of CHEM 241 classes have 3 exams and a final. ~50% assign graded homeworks, which never exceeds 25% of your overall grade (except during Covid).
-
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.
-
Make-Up Exam Policy
75% of professors have their makeup exams a few days before the final. Students are frequently surprised they are comprehensive exams, which feels like a 2nd final!

Avoid Distractions
Silence your phone, videos and tell family to stop bugging you to create a focused environment.
