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.

      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!

      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.
