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.
-
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!
-
High Drop Rate
CHEM 135 is a weed-out class and the department knows it. A drop rate of 20% is not uncommon no matter who the professor is.
-
Homework Points
UMD professors rarely base exam questions off of the online homework system - they are just for extra points. Ignoring them may tank your grade by 1 letter.
Study Tips for CHEM 135 Exams
Don't Cram
Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
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.
Get Help Early
Work with a tutor, find a study group, or talk to your professor if you get stuck.
