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