What to look out for in UMD CHEM 231
-
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.
-
Course Structure
90% of CHEM 231 classes have 3 exams and a final. ~50% assign graded homeworks, which never exceeds 25% of your overall grade (except during Covid).
-
Continue Learning
You should take Orgo 2 immediately after CHEM 231 Orgo 1. Taking a break from the Orgo “mindset” is very disruptive to your chemistry education and you’ll experience a painful learning curve getting back into the electron pushing mindset.
-
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.
