What to look out for in UMD CHEM 135
-
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.
-
Exam Practice
~50% of UMD chemistry professors share a portion of their old exams and keys for students to practice (but not their complete exam set). Only 1 professor shares their complete exam set. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to find out who that is!

Course Similarities
The only difference between CHEM 131 and CHEM 135 are Exam 3 topics. Exam 3 for CHEM 135 tests on different, harder topics than Exam 3 in CHEM 131. This includes Kinetics and Electrochemistry.

Organic Chemistry
At UMD, CHEM 135 teaches 20% of organic chemistry reactions. This extra material catches students by surprise since it involves different applied thinking. A tutor like myself, who has mastered both Gen Chem and Orgo, is best suited to help you navigate the peculiarities of this class.
