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!

Exam 3 Overlap
Exam 3 tests on the same chapters as Exam 1 and 2 in CHEM 271. You could potentially ask upperclassmen for help, or tutor 1-on-1 with me to gain clarity for this class.

Course Similarities
