Dr. Davis's Exam Style

Dr. Davis’s exam questions are long, but conceptually straightforward and molecules are simple and non-complicated. However, his exam wording can make a reaction or 3-D conformer "look" more confusing.

Besides teaching CHEM247 (Orgo 2 for Majors) in Fall 2020, this is Dr. Davis’s first time teaching CHEM 241 since 2012.

Dr. Davis does not give a curve but does have hard cutoffs. If you have an 80% in the class, you have an A, and 70% is a B.

Dr. Davis is NEVER condescending and is arguably the most approachable professor in the CHEM department at UMD.

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 Dr. Davis's CHEM 241?

Exam Tips and Tricks - Get tips and secret resources used by Dr. Davis. Know UMD's peculiarities and learn specific strategies to study for exams.

Accelerated Catch Up - If you're behind, I'll help you catch up 10x faster than studying on your own using private resources.

Homework Guidance - A tutor needs a 1 hour session to walk a student through one of Dr. Davis’s homeworks and help them arrive at the correct answer on their own. Students need 4 hours on their own without a tutors’ guidance to achieve the same correct answer.

Timing - If you can’t make it to Dr. Davis’s 8AM class, you’ll be perpetually behind in CHEM 241, no matter how nice or how good Dr. Davis is at teaching. He will know if you don't attend class because he recognizes the faces that come to lecture regularly in the hallway, and new faces that only show up during exams. However, as a tutor I will help you get ahead with Orgo 2 material so you're motivated to wake up early and attend class!
