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!
-
Focus on Fundamentals
Students frequently struggle in BCHM 461 due to weak fundamentals in Acid Base Buffers, Thermodynamics, and organic chemistry mechanisms. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to quickly re-learn these topics!

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.

Absence Policy
After an emergency, including hospitalization, ~80% of UMD chem professors expect you to take their exam same time as everyone else when you return to campus.
