Dr. Davis's Exam Style

While most CHEM 241 professors just talk all the way through lecture and continually introduce new reactions, Dr. Davis will take 5 minute breaks so students can “mentally breathe.”

Dr. Davis’s exam questions are long, but conceptually straightforward and molecules are simple and non-complicated. However, his exam wording can make a reaction or 3-D conformer "look" more confusing.

Dr. Davis does not give a curve but does have hard cutoffs. If you have an 80% in the class, you have an A, and 70% is a B.

Dr. Davis’s exams are highly conceptual - which means that exam prompts are wordy, confusing, and written in paragraph form. It takes time to figure out and work through each question - which is stressful during timed exams.
