What to look out for in UMD CHEM 272 Lab
-
Past Exam Keys
Tutor with me to gain access to my extensive CHEM 272 Lab exam keys. Most professors do not share enough old exams and students lack relevant practice problems.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Competitive Office Hours
Students tend to wait ~30 minutes before the professor opens their door, just to be the 1st to ask their own questions.

Access To Joy's Extensive Resources - Get access to my entire exam key collection and homework answers for UMD.
Learn The Source of Exam Questions - ~75% of CHEM 272 Lab UMD professors create their own exam questions. ~25% of professors pull from outside sources (such as textbooks) that students are not aware of. As part of 1-on-1 tutoring, I’ll prioritize your access to resources, so you know which questions to study and most likely tested in class.
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. Yet, having seen them, students still don’t know how to begin due to confusing wording. Tutor 1-on-1 with me and I’ll help you translate Chemistry into English so you can answer quickly and correctly.
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.
