Dr. Mignerey's Exam Style

Dr. Mignerey's exam questions are short and straightforward...for Exams 1 and 2. Exam 3 has long, challenging problems that cause students to struggle and lower their exam grade average.
Many students find that Dr. Mignerey goes on tangents during lecture, often leaving them confused about what topics are tested and what's not tested.
Dr. Mignerey's exams are extremely consistent but long and you can expect 30-40 questions per homework.
Most exams are designed for students to finish, or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
