What to look out for in UMD CHEM 231
-
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.
-
Spectroscopy Disadvantage
Most CHEM 231 professors teach 3 spectroscopy methods (IR, NMR, Mass Spec) during the last 2 weeks of class - giving students minimal time for the unit to sink in. This places you at a disadvantage for Orgo 2 lab (CHEM 242) the following semester. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to help bridge this gap from Orgo 1 to Orgo 2.
-
Past Exam Keys
Tutor with me to gain access to my extensive CHEM 231 exam keys. Most professors do not share enough old exams and students lack relevant practice problems.
-
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!
Study Tips for CHEM 231 Exams
Practice Old Exams
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.
Don't Cram
Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
