Dr. Falvey's Exam Style

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.
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).
Expect to be tested on at least 3 topics (not covered in the textbook) that are applications from real life.
