Dr. Wang's Exam Style

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.
Dr. Wang’s exams are extremely straightforward and have 20% less reactions than most CHEM 237, CHEM 241 and CHEM 247 professors. For example, he cuts out Benzene Birch Reduction, Cis vs. Trans Alkene Wittig Differences and the Retro-Aldol Mechanism.
Most orgo exams are designed for students to finish or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
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.
