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.
-
Rampant Cheating
There is a high number of incidents of students getting caught cheating on 272 lab reports, because the department uses turnItIn.com to catch 271 / 272 students.
-
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!
-
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.
