What to look out for in UMD CHEM 271
-
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.
-
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).
-
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!
