What to look out for in UMD CHEM 231
-
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!
-
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.
-
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).
-
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!
Study Tips for CHEM 231 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.
Avoid Distractions
Silence your phone, videos and tell family to stop bugging you to create a focused environment.
