What to look out for in UMD CHEM 135

    • 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.

      Organic Chemistry

    At UMD, CHEM 135 teaches 20% of organic chemistry reactions. This extra material catches students by surprise since it involves different applied thinking. A tutor like myself, who has mastered both Gen Chem and Orgo, is best suited to help you navigate the peculiarities of this class.

      Course Structure

    90% of CHEM 135 classes have 3 exams and a final. ~50% assign graded homeworks, which never exceeds 25% of your overall grade (except during Covid).

      Curve Setback

    Students frequently have classmates who have taken CHEM 135 before, making it their 2nd attempt (or even 3rd attempt) and therefore putting first-timers at a disadvantage for the grading curve.
