Dr. Friedman's Exam Style

He provides only 3 old exams and no past finals for CHEM 131 and CHEM 242 studying. He never tests on the exact same exam question twice.
Dr. Friedman does not "tolerate any nonsense" and will give severe consequences to students who collaborate on post labs.
Dr. Friedman expects students to “go through the process of analyzing data, processing information, and applying logic and scientific reasoning to come to a rational conclusion.” However, expect his post-lab and exam questions to be impossible to answer without Ph.D. graduate level Orgo knowledge.
Dr. Friedman’s Spectroscopy questions require your brain to channel deep thinking. He refers to them as “fun puzzles”, but students prefer to call them a “confusing maze”. Tutor 1-on-1 with me, and I’ll help train your thinking to convert the maze back into a puzzle.
