Dr. Mignerey's Exam Style

Most exams are designed for students to finish, or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
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.
Exceptions-to-the-rule are frequently introduced to students for the first time on exams or briefly mentioned during class, but with no examples.
Learning is self-directed as students tend not to watch the online lectures posted by Dr. Mignerey. I'll clearly explain chem concepts, and teach you strategies to answer exam questions fast and accurately.
