Dr. Knizia'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%).
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.
Exceptions-to-the-rule are frequently introduced to students for the first time on exams or briefly mentioned during class, but with no examples.
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.
