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

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

    • 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.

      Focus on What's "Actually" Tested - I emphasize topics that I know have been historically tested on in your class during our sessions. I'll reinforce really important subjects that you'll need to know to pass your exams and get your desired grade.

      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.
