Dr. Asbury's Exam Style

Some students find the grading system tedious due to numerous weekly small assignments. Ignoring them can tank your grade, but finishing them provides a grade boost to make up for low exam scores. They are Pre-Lecture Assignments (6%), Lecture Problems (6%), HW (8%), and Knowledge check quizzes (8%).
It’s highly recommended you take the TPE as it provides a small boost in your overall grade and gives you immediate feedback on how you would score on the actual exam.
Professors frequently create 1-2 hour videos of practice exam solutions. They’re focused on traditional long-form problem solving, and not heavy on tricks, shortcuts, or backdoor methods for getting correct answers fast. Also, students are unable to ask their own questions. Tutor 1-on-1 with me to ask your own questions, and learn tons of shortcuts!
Make time for the TPE’s, because they are of equal difficulty compared to your actual exam, and the practice tests are ~50% easier and less vigorous than your actual exam.
