Dr. Falvey's Exam Style

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.
Expect to be tested on at least 3 topics (not covered in the textbook) that are applications from real life.
Most exams are designed for students to finish, or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
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).
