Dr. Wang's Exam Style

Most orgo exams are designed for students to finish or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.

Dr. Wang is not a “fancy professor.” Meaning that he is a creature of habit, does not assign unnecessary homeworks, and sticks to the same mechanisms/reactions on midterms 1, 2, and 3 each semester. However, since Covid happened, his format could change in Fall 2021.

Dr. Wang does have a curve so his class is more competitive. Students in this class should be protective of their resources and knowledge gained from 1-on-1 tutoring so they don’t fall below the 1 standard deviation cut-off on the curve.

Dr. Wang’s exams are extremely straightforward and have 20% less reactions than most CHEM 237 professors. For example, he cuts out Benzene Birch Reduction, Cis vs. Trans Alkene Wittig Differences and the Retro-Aldol Mechanism.
