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!

      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.

      Course Structure

    90% of CHEM 272 Lab classes have 3 exams and a final. ~50% assign graded homeworks, which never exceeds 25% of your overall grade (except during Covid).

      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.

    • Get Over Tech Obstacles- Students frequently use 12 hours to finish each lab report, due to the lack of Excel or Google Sheet experience. The biggest obstacle is not knowing how to create reports / graphs and analyze data in Excel or Google Sheets. I am an expert in this area and will teach you all tricks & tips to accelerate your Excel skills fast.

      Excel on What's "Actually" Tested - ~75% of UMD professors recycle old exam questions. Some professors repeat entire exams verbatim, some repeat only 1 or 2 questions per test.
