What to look out for in UMD CHEM 241
-
Continue Learning
You should take Orgo 2 immediately after CHEM 241 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.
-
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!
-
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).
-
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
Keep Going
Redo a problem 5 times - this helps cement your knowledge, and recall it under high pressure testing 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.
Don't Cram
Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
Why Tutor With Me for CHEM 241?
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.
Learn The Source of Exam Questions - ~75% of CHEM 241 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.
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!).
