Dr. Schech's Exam Style

In the 4 years I've been tutoring her class, Dr. Schech has created all of her own questions and has never ONCE repeated a problem verbatim on any of her exams.
Most exams are designed for students to finish or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
As a tutor, I've spoken with dozens of smart and hardworking students, who feel the need to drop Dr. Schech's class. Those same students end up being top of their class with more reasonable professors.
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.
