Dr. Davis's Exam Style

Besides teaching CHEM247 (Orgo 2 for Majors) in Fall 2020, this is Dr. Davis’s first time teaching CHEM 241 since 2012.
Dr. Davis’s exams are highly conceptual - which means that exam prompts are wordy, confusing, and written in paragraph form. It takes time to figure out and work through each question - which is stressful during timed exams.
90% of exam questions are repeated in Dr. Davis’s exams but you must study back 5+ semesters.
Dr. Davis does not give a curve but does have hard cutoffs. If you have an 80% in the class, you have an A, and 70% is a B.

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

    • Exam Tips and Tricks - Get tips and secret resources used by Dr. Davis. Know UMD's peculiarities and learn specific strategies to study for exams.

      Study the Right Resources - From my experience, in order to succeed in Dr. Davis’s CHEM 241 class you need to study old exams outside of what’s provided by [[her/him/them]] along with what he gives you. Tutor 1-on-1 with me to access and understand, in great depth, old exams and resources.

      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.

      Timing - If you can’t make it to Dr. Davis’s 8AM class, you’ll be perpetually behind in CHEM 241, 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!
