Dr. Davis's Exam Style

While most CHEM 241 professors just talk all the way through lecture and continually introduce new reactions, Dr. Davis will take 5 minute breaks so students can “mentally breathe.”
Dr. Davis provides his students with enough exams (unlike ~50% of UMD professors) - 3 semesters worth WITH ANSWER KEYS including finals - to prepare you for midterms and the final.
Dr. Davis’s exams are highly conceptual - which means that exam prompts are wordy, confusing, and written in paragraph form. It takes time to figure out and work through each question - which is stressful during timed exams.
Besides teaching CHEM247 (Orgo 2 for Majors) in Fall 2020, this is Dr. Davis’s first time teaching CHEM 241 since 2012.
