Dr. Wang's Exam Style

His exams always contain a Wittig Mechanism and Intramolecular Claisen which tend to be worth a lot of points. The reason why I can state this online is because it’s seared into my memory from my tutoring experience with students in his class. Tutor 1-on-1 with me to find out which other reactions he favors!
Dr. Wang does have a curve so his class is more competitive. Students in this class should be protective of their resources and knowledge gained from 1-on-1 tutoring so they don’t fall below the 1 standard deviation cut-off on the curve.
Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you where Dr. Wang sources his exam questions, what he emphasizes, and what he excludes from your textbook.
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.
