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!
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.
Dr. Wang provides one practice exam for his students to study, but no past actual exams. Tutor with me for access to 3.5 semester's worth of Dr. Wang’s exams and explanations dating back to 2017 when he started teaching CHEM 237, CHEM 241 and CHEM 247 to prepare you for the midterms and final.
