Dr. Wang's Exam Style

Students have the ability to get an A or jump two (2) letter grades in this class by beating the curve with 2 standard deviations above the average, IF they practice all the old exams going back 3.5 semesters.
Dr. Wang is a genuinely nice person who wants to see his students succeed. For example, he is known to personally congratulate students in-person who jump 2 letter grades on the next exam.
Dr. Wang is not a “fancy professor.” Meaning that he is a creature of habit, does not assign unnecessary homeworks, and sticks to the same mechanisms/reactions on midterms 1, 2, and 3 each semester. However, since Covid happened, his format could change in Fall 2021.
Most orgo exams are designed for students to finish or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
