What to look out for in UMD CHEM 272 Lab

    • 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.

      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.

      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.
