Dr. Nacsa's Exam Style

CHEM 210 Exam questions tend to segment into 1/5 ranking, 1/5 short answers, 1/5 mechanism/synthesis, 1/5 conceptual, and 1/5 naming a complicated molecule on every test. Reactions are tested going forwards and backwards, which is difficult to prepare for.
During online semesters, some professors completely eliminated exams, while others kept the exact same format since 2013. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to prepare for structural exam shifts in the Fall 2021 semester!
CHEM 210 feels like the wild, wild west at PSU because different professors format exams differently, and teach more in depth into topics than others. Notable topics include Molecular Orbital Theory, Ring Stability, Synthesis, and E2 reactions on chairs.
Dr. Nacsa's exams are similar difficulty compared to Daily Questions (DQ's) and lecture notes for CHEM 210. However, not enough exceptions, variations, and PLA's for CHEM 210. Past exam questions are used in lecture, but not enough variations.
