What to look out for in UMD CHEM 231

    • 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.

      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.

      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!

      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.

    • Study Tips for CHEM 231 Exams

    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.

    Avoid Distractions

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

    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.

    Why Tutor With Aromatic Prep for CHEM 231?

    • Learn The Source of Exam Questions - ~75% of CHEM 231 UMD professors create their own exam questions. ~25% of professors pull from outside sources (such as textbooks) that students are not aware of. As part of 1-on-1 tutoring, I’ll prioritize your access to resources, so you know which questions to study and most likely tested in class.

      Tech Savvy Tutor - I know the ins and outs of online meeting software, like Zoom, Webex and Join.me. I'll easily fix your tech issues as well to ensure our session runs smoothly.

      Exam Technology Tricks - Learn to maximize the limited time provided during online exams. I'll teach you how to optimize linear or non-linear exams, and think calmly during the stressful hour.

      Accelerated Catch Up - If you're behind, I'll help you catch up 10x faster than studying on your own using private resources.
