Dr. Koppel's Exam Style

For the past two years, Dr. Koppel has created unique CHEM 232 post-lab questions that are never repeated to prevent people from copying off of old labs. The department is paranoid about students cheating on post labs (for good reason) and as a result, they have their own Chegg account, monitor other Chegg accounts, and frequently compare students' work.
in CHEM 135, 20% of Dr. Koppel's curriculum are organic chemistry reactions and naming. This extra material catches students by surprise since it involves different applied thinking. A tutor like myself, who's mastered both gen chem and Orgo, is best suited to help you navigate the peculiarities of 135.
Dr. Koppel's CHEM 232 post-lab questions are incredibly difficult and require Ph.D. graduate-level thinking.
Dr. Koppel is the only professor teaching CHEM 232 for Spring 2023, so everyone is on the same boat (sailing turbulent waters). Contact me if you'd like help reaching your desired grade for this lab class!
