What to look out for in UMD BCHM 461
-
Not Enough Resources
Students frequently make the long trek to office hours just to take pictures of old exams. Sometimes they encounter canceled office hours or a 20+ minute wait just to enter. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to avoid this struggle, as I'll provide you my whole exam set!
-
Curve Setback
Students frequently have classmates who have taken BCHM 461 before, making it their 2nd attempt (or even 3rd attempt) and therefore putting first-timers at a disadvantage for the grading curve.
-
Re-Introduced Orgo Material
Be careful which biochem professors you pick because an Orgo focused professor like Dr. Dixon will reintroduce a lot of Orgo 1 and 2 material you wish you never laid eyes on again.
-
Course Structure
90% of BCHM 461 classes have 3 exams and a final. ~50% assign graded homeworks, which never exceeds 25% of your overall grade (except during Covid).
Study Tips for BCHM 461 Exams

Keep Going
Redo a problem 5 times - this helps cement your knowledge, and recall it under high pressure testing environment.
Ask Questions
Be bold and ask direct questions when you're stuck - there's value in wrong answers so you can recognize and avoid them.
