Dr. Mignerey's Exam Style

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