Dr. Dixon's Exam Style

Dr. Dixon heavily emphasizes on 3-D visualization for static molecules, reactions, and mechanisms.

Dr. Dixon NEVER follows the textbook. She has "rules" that are different and more in-depth than what is shown in the textbook and grades according to "her rules."

A lot of students organize their schedules around avoiding Dr. Dixon. This is because she teaches 6 chemistry classes up to Biochemistry 463, and it's likely every student will end up in her class at least once. I can help you navigate around her course times or help you pass her class on the 1st try.

In the 15 years I've been tutoring her class, Dr. Dixon has created all of her own questions and has never ONCE repeated a problem verbatim on any of her graded homeworks or exams.
