Office Hours Get New Online Look

September 26, 2007 - 12:00am
By Wendy Wang

Office hours may be next in line to get a virtual makeover as students in certain classes can interact with professors and T.A.s over the Internet. This additional medium for office hours has become increasingly popular among Cornell faculty members and their teaching staffs. For example, the 12 undergraduate T.A.s for INFO 130: Introduction to Web Design and Programming are available for online office hours through AOL Instant Messenger.

“It’s convenient for the T.A.s, but more importantly, it helps the students learn, since it’s easier for a kid to type in a question online than to walk all the way to the engineering quad to get it answered,” said Phil Adams ’09, a T.A. for INFO 130.
