Dr. Garner's Exam Style

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.

The recent online exams via Canvas followed the same question format, type and source as exams before Spring 2020. This means that old exams can be studied for reference in the current semester.

Unfortunately, past midterms and finals are not shared regularly with students. You’ll only have access to practice exams which tend to be the same practice set shared 3+ years in a row.

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%).
