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.

      Famously Difficult

    CHEM 272 Lab is famous for the wrong reasons - 12 hour lab reports, harsh grading, non-conventional chem curriculum, and the department will not allow any transfer credits for 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.

  • Study Tips for CHEM 272 Lab Exams

    Ask Questions
