What to look out for in UMD CHEM 135
-
Curve Setback
Students frequently have classmates who have taken CHEM 135 before, making it their 2nd attempt (or even 3rd attempt) and therefore putting first-timers at a disadvantage for the grading curve.
-
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.
-
Course Structure
90% of CHEM 135 classes have 3 exams and a final. ~50% assign graded homeworks, which never exceeds 25% of your overall grade (except during Covid).
-
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!
