What to look out for in UMD CHEM 231
-
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.
-
Not Enough Resources
Students frequently make the long trek to office hours just to take pictures of old exams. Sometimes they encounter canceled office hours or a 20+ minute wait before just to enter. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to avoid this struggle, as I'll provide you my whole exam set!
-
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.
