Dr. Knizia's Exam Style

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