What to look out for in UMD CHEM 231

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!
-
Homework Points

Redo a problem 5 times - this helps cement your knowledge, and recall it under high pressure testing environment.
Ask Questions
Be bold and ask direct questions when you're stuck - there's value in wrong answers so you can recognize and avoid them.

Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
