Dr. Tienson-Tseng's Exam Style

Most exams are designed for students to finish, or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
For new professors, such as Dr. Tienson-Tseng, her exams may not reflect the assigned homework through BCHM 463.
BCHM 463 with Dr. Tienson-Tseng at UMD may have 3-4 exams per semester worth 100 points each. Exams can be typically 9-12 questions worth 2-12 points each.
Exceptions-to-the-rule are frequently introduced to students for the first time on exams or briefly mentioned during class, but with no examples.
