What to look out for in UMD BCHM 461
-
Make-Up Exam Policy
75% of professors have their makeup exams a few days before the final. Students are frequently surprised they are comprehensive exams, which feels like a 2nd final!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Homework Points
UMD professors rarely base exam questions off of the online homework system - they are just for extra points. Ignoring them may tank your grade by 1 letter.
