What to look out for in UMD BCHM 461
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
No Lab Requirement
Luckily, there is no required lab class with the biochem lecture.
