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.
-
High Drop Rate
CHEM 231 is a weed-out class and the department knows it. A drop rate of 20% is common no matter who is teaching.
-
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.
