What to look out for in UMD CHEM 241

    • Absence Policy

    After an emergency, including hospitalization, ~80% of UMD chem professors expect you to take their exam same time as everyone else when you return to campus.

      Course Structure

    90% of CHEM 241 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!

      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.

  • Study Tips for CHEM 241 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.

    Practice Old Exams

    Execute on old exams. Even if you get the wrong answer, you'll learn from your mistakes faster.

    Why Tutor With Me for CHEM 241?

    • Relentless Class Pace - You start learning 2 to 20 (yikes!) new reactions from day 1 and it does not end until finals. Students frequently complain that they have to memorize 200+ reactions by finals. As a tutor, I will provide you with custom flowcharts that will help you quickly understand all 200+ reactions.

      Jog Your Memory - I frequently tutor CHEM 241 students who claim they “forgot” all their Orgo 1, and their common attribute is taking a semester break after Orgo 1. Tutor with me 1-on-1 for shortcuts to quickly regain your Orgo 1 knowledge (it’s easier than you think!).

      Exam Tips and Tricks - Get tips and secret resources used by UMD professors. Know UMD's peculiarites and learn specific strategies to study for exams.

      Excel on What's "Actually" Tested - ~75% of UMD professors recycle old exam questions. Some professors repeat entire exams verbatim, some repeat only 1 or 2 questions per test. Yet, having seen them, students still don’t know how to begin due to confusing wording. Tutor 1-on-1 with me and I’ll help you translate Chemistry into English so you can answer quickly and correctly.
