What to look out for in UMD CHEM 131

    • 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!

      Competitive Office Hours

    Students tend to wait ~30 minutes before the professor opens their door, just to be the 1st to ask their own questions.

      Exam 1 Confusion

    The most confusing topic in Exam 1 in CHEM 131 is quantum mechanics and wavelengths. This is due to greek symbols, weird units, and multiple new equations.

      Curve Setback

    Students frequently have classmates who have taken CHEM 131 before, making it their 2nd attempt (or even 3rd attempt) and therefore putting first-timers at a disadvantage for the grading curve.

  • Study Tips for CHEM 131 Exams

    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.

    Don't Cram

    Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.

    Avoid Distractions

    Silence your phone, videos and tell family to stop bugging you to create a focused environment.
