What to look out for in UMD CHEM 271
-
Not Enough Material Learned
CHEM 271 is a 2 credit class (instead of usual 3) that learns fewer chapters than Chem 2 at other schools. Students may not learn enough Chem 2 material for MCAT or DAT studying.
-
Not Enough Resources
Students frequently make the long trek to office hours just to take pictures of old exams. Sometimes they encounter canceled office hours or a 20+ minute wait just to enter. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to avoid this struggle, as I'll provide you my whole exam set!
-
Course Structure
90% of CHEM 271 classes have 3 exams and a final. ~50% assign graded homeworks, which never exceeds 25% of your overall grade (except during Covid).
-
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.
Study Tips for CHEM 271 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.
Don't Cram
Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.
