Dr. Garner's Exam Style

Most exams are designed for students to finish, or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.

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.

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%).
