What to look out for in UMD CHEM 231

    • High Drop Rate

    CHEM 231 is a weed-out class and the department knows it. A drop rate of 20% is common no matter who is teaching.

      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.

      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.

    • Study Tips for CHEM 231 Exams

    Get Help Early

    Work with a tutor, find a study group, or talk to your professor if you get stuck.

    Avoid Distractions

    Silence your phone, videos and tell family to stop bugging you to create a focused environment.

    Keep Going

    Redo a problem 5 times - this helps cement your knowledge, and recall it under high pressure testing environment.
