Dr. Griffith's Exam Style

Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you where Dr. Griffith sources her exam questions, what she emphasizes, and what she excludes from your textbook.
As a tutor, I've worked with dozens of struggling students who jumped 2 letter grades on the next exam after a 'push' in the right direction, catered resources, and regular 1-on-1 tutoring sessions.
Dr. Griffith's exams are difficult, but not impossible and require more conceptual understanding and memorization than other professors. Her Isotope Ratio and Diprotic Acid Base problems tend to be most challenging for students.
In the 7 years I've been tutoring her CHEM 135 and 271 classes, Dr. Griffith has created all of her own questions, but occasionally repeats a problem verbatim on her future exams.
