Teaching something in lecture only to question your students on something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT on an exam IS NOT TEACHING! You know what that is? Tricking, and that is not what I'm paying them to do.
If I was to teach the class and give questions during the lecture in terms of moles, liters, millimoles, etc in my test I would ask questions using moles, liters, millimoles and not give my students concentrations in terms of freakin' ppm and ml so they can calculate the concentration when we didn't discuss conversion with ppm! On top of that, I wouldn't ask them to calculate something that they haven't calculated in two years or so and then add that to what we learned in class when we didn't even review what we learned two years ago!
What makes it worse is she doesn't scale even though I get the feeling from her lecture today we all did terrible with two or three exceptions...isn't that a sign that there's not a problem with the student but a problem with the teaching/grading methods? Sooooo you're going to punish the majority? GGRRR!
...so you see, that's not teaching it's tricking...which is why I think my chem professor is the fucking antichrist...
