Dr. Davis's Exam Style

Dr. Davis provides his students with enough exams (unlike ~50% of UMD professors) - 3 semesters worth WITH ANSWER KEYS including finals - to prepare you for midterms and the final.
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.
Dr. Davis’s exam questions are long, but conceptually straightforward and molecules are simple and non-complicated. However, his exam wording can make a reaction or 3-D conformer "look" more confusing.
Dr. Davis is NEVER condescending and is arguably the most approachable professor in the CHEM department at UMD.

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

    • 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.

      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.

      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.

      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!
