Dr. Falvey's Exam Style

Dr. Falvey does not have any recent CHEM 231 and CHEM 237 exams to make available to students. Contact me if you'd like access to my CHEM 231 and CHEM 237 resources from other CHEM 231 and CHEM 237 professors at UMD!
Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you where Dr. Falvey sources his exam questions, what he emphasizes, and what he excludes from your textbook.
He generally has 3 exams and a final in Orgo 2 (CHEM 241). Since Spring 2021 is his first time teaching Orgo 1 in 10+ years, that could change.
Exceptions-to-the-rule are frequently introduced to students for the first time on exams or briefly mentioned during class, but with no examples.
