What to look out for in UMD CHEM 135
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
Study Tips for CHEM 135 Exams
Avoid Distractions

Practice Old Exam
Execute on old exams. Even if you get the wrong answer, you'll learn from your mistakes faster.
Study the RIGHT Material
There are no common exams or finals at UMD. This means you should prioritize studying with classmates who are taking the SAME professor.
