What to look out for in UMD CHEM 272 Lab

    • 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.

      Absence Policy

    After an emergency, including hospitalization, ~80% of UMD chem professors expect you to take their exam same time as everyone else when you return to campus.

      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.

      Unique to UMD

    CHEM 272 Lab Lecture & 272 Lab are unique classes to UMD only. They are taken after Orgo 2 and designed so that students cannot opt out of the 272 via transfer credit.

    • Study Tips for CHEM 272 Lab Exams

    Study the RIGHT Material

    There are no common exams or finals at UMD. This means you should prioritize studying with classmates who are taking the SAME professor.

    Keep Going

    Redo a problem 5 times - this helps cement your knowledge, and recall it under high pressure testing environment.

    Ask Questions

    Be bold and ask direct questions when you're stuck - there's value in wrong answers so you can recognize and avoid them.

    Why Tutor With Me for CHEM 272 Lab?

    • 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.

      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.

      Exam Technology Tricks - Learn to maximize the limited time provided during online exams. I'll teach you how to optimize linear or non-linear exams, and think calmly during the stressful hour.

      Learn to Sound Smart with Your Professor - Learn how to shine among your peers by visiting office hours often with "smart" questions ready in hand - I'll teach you how and what questions to ask and get the most out of 1-on-1 face time during professor office hours.
