Dr. Davis's Exam Style

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

90% of exam questions are repeated in Dr. Davis’s exams but you must study back 5+ semesters.

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.

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.

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.

Go to Office Hours

Dr. Davis’s office hours are very helpful. He is a genuinely nice person and students actually benefit from going to his office hours.

Why Tutor with Me for Dr. Davis's CHEM 241?

Study the Right Resources - From my experience, in order to succeed in Dr. Davis’s CHEM 241 class you need to study old exams outside of what’s provided by [[her/him/them]] along with what he gives you. Tutor 1-on-1 with me to access and understand, in great depth, old exams and resources.

Focus on What's "Actually" Tested - I emphasize topics that I know have been historically tested on in your class during our sessions. I'll reinforce really important subjects that you'll need to know to pass your exams and get your desired grade.

Access to Joy's Extensive Resources - Tutoring with me will grant you access to at LEAST 7 semester's worth of exams and keys, including finals, for Dr. Davis’s CHEM 241.

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!
