Dr. Schech's Exam Style

Dr. Schech's exams are difficult, borderline impossible, and require more conceptual understanding and memorization than other professors. She often applies "what-if" environments that are not realistic in real life. It's no surprise her exam averages are low.
Most exams are designed for students to finish or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
Dr. Schech loves to use Disney's Frozen and Marvel characters on her exams. This is not to entertain you, but they show her extra effort in creating challenging questions that make students cry, or want to cry, midway through their exams.
Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you where Dr. Schech sources her exam questions, what she emphasizes, and what she excludes from your textbook.
