Dr. Davis's Exam Style

Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you where Dr. Davis sources his exam questions, what he emphasizes, and what he excludes from your textbook.

While most CHEM 241 and BCHM 462 professors just talk all the way through lecture and continually introduce new reactions, Dr. Davis will take 5 minute breaks so students can “mentally breathe.”

Dr. Davis is NEVER condescending and is arguably the most approachable professor in the CHEM department at UMD.

Besides teaching CHEM247 (Orgo 2 for Majors) in Fall 2020, this is Dr. Davis’s first time teaching CHEM 241 and BCHM 462 since 2012.

Why Tutor with Me for Dr. Davis's CHEM 241 and BCHM 462?

Timing - If you can’t make it to Dr. Davis’s 8AM class, you’ll be perpetually behind in CHEM 241 and BCHM 462, no matter how nice or how good Dr. Davis is at teaching. He will know if you don't attend class because he recognizes the faces that come to lecture regularly in the hallway, and new faces that only show up during exams. However, as a tutor I will help you get ahead with Orgo 2 material so you're motivated to wake up early and attend class!

Homework Guidance - A tutor needs a 1 hour session to walk a student through one of Dr. Davis’s homeworks and help them arrive at the correct answer on their own. Students need 4 hours on their own without a tutors’ guidance to achieve the same correct answer.

Access to Joy's Extensive Resources - Tutoring with me will grant you access to at LEAST 7 semester's worth of exams and keys, including finals, for Dr. Davis’s CHEM 241 and BCHM 462.

Tech Savvy Tutor - I know the ins and outs of online meeting software, like Zoom, Webex, and Join.me. I'll easily fix your tech issues as well to ensure our session runs smoothly.
