Dr. Mignerey's Exam Style

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 exams are extremely consistent but long and you can expect 30-40 questions per homework.
Exceptions-to-the-rule are frequently introduced to students for the first time on exams or briefly mentioned during class, but with no examples.
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.
