What to look out for in UMD CHEM 272 Lab

    • 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!

      Harsh Grading

    Nit-picky grading rubric, and non-consistent grading across all TA’s (teaching assistants). A harsher grading TA has proven to tank their own student’s scores by > 10% compared to lenient sections. This creates the worst disadvantage since Dr. Schech will set the same curve for all CHEM 272 Lab sections combined.

      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.

      Harder Chem Concepts

    Students unwillingly learn analytical and instrumentation chem in CHEM 272 Lab, which is not part of traditional chem 2 topics. They are harder 400 level chem concepts thrust upon them in a 200 level course.
