Dr. Tienson-Tseng's Exam Style

Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you popular methods used by new professors to source their exam questions, what they emphasize, and what they may exclude from your textbook.
Exceptions-to-the-rule are frequently introduced to students for the first time on exams or briefly mentioned during class, but with no examples.
Most exams are designed for students to finish, or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
Dr. Tienson-Tseng's exams will likely be concept-focused and multiple-choice. Exam questions are usually not straightforward among UMD professors.
