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.
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.
Exceptions-to-the-rule are frequently introduced to students for the first time on exams or briefly mentioned during class, but with no examples.
