Dr. Falvey's Exam Style

Dr. Falvey usually tests on short answer reactions, mechanisms, synthesis, and how to correctly identify and match complicated molecules to their names (which is a freebie 10 points if you answer correctly).
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.
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.
Most exams are designed for students to finish, or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
