Dr. Wang's Exam Style

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.
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.
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’s exams are extremely straightforward and have 20% less reactions than most CHEM 237 professors. For example, he cuts out Benzene Birch Reduction, Cis vs. Trans Alkene Wittig Differences and the Retro-Aldol Mechanism.
