What to look out for in UMD CHEM 272 Lab

    • Homework Points

    UMD professors rarely base exam questions off of the online homework system - they are just for extra points. Ignoring them may tank your grade by 1 letter.

      Curve Setback

    Students frequently have classmates who have taken CHEM 272 Lab 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 272 Lab Lecture & 272 Lab are unique classes to UMD only. They are taken after Orgo 2 and designed so that students cannot opt out of the 272 via transfer credit.

      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.
