Dr. Tienson-Tseng'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.
Dr. Tienson-Tseng's exams will likely be concept-focused and multiple-choice. Exam questions are usually not straightforward among UMD professors.
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.
For new professors, such as Dr. Tienson-Tseng, her exams may not reflect the assigned homework through BCHM 463.
