I wrote my midterm exam today and I actually did not even open up my model kit. I heard lots of the characteristic popping noise from models being built and unbuilt from the rest of the students, but I didn't need to use the models.
On the test it asked for lots of transition states, there was the Zimmerman Traxler of an enolate with an aldehyde, the deprotonation of ketones, it asked us to explain the difference between how a thermodynamic versus kinetc product arise.
