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!

      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.

      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).

      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!
