What to look out for in UMD CHEM 271
-
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!
-
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.
-
Curve Setback
Students frequently have classmates who have taken CHEM 271 before, making it their 2nd attempt (or even 3rd attempt) and therefore putting first-timers at a disadvantage for the grading curve.
-
Unique to UMD
CHEM 271 Lecture & 272 Lab are unique classes to UMD only. They are taken after Orgo 2 and designed so that students cannot opt out of 272 via transfer credit.
