What to look out for in UNC CHEM 101
-
Teaching Styles
Does your professor prefer an iPad or chalkboard? Do they record their lectures? These things matter long-term for knowledge retention. Contact me for tutoring today and learn study strategies curated from 8 semesters of expert tutoring for CHEM 101 at UNC.
-
Exam Difficulty
Topics tend to be scattered and out of order throughout CHEM 101 exams. Questions are rarely repeated verbatim and change from semester to semester.
-
Exam Details
Exams are 50% multiple choice and 50% short answers. You'll usually see 1 or 2 tricky calculation questions that contain a "concept within a concept" and the exams are designed so that the majority of the class can finish quickly, but not accurately.
-
Grading on a Curve
Many professors at UNC grade on a curve to create their desired distribution of scores. Most professors strive for a lower exam average than 70%. Beware that some don't curve at all! Tutor with me now to access multiple semester's worth of curve cutoffs.
