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).
Exceptions-to-the-rule are frequently introduced to students for the first time on exams or briefly mentioned during class, but with no examples.
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.
