Although many students appreciated Cornell’s community day on Friday, Nov. 3, many also urged the University to take further action in response to recent threats and tensions.
Amid antisemitic threats and increased tensions on campus, classes will be canceled on Friday, Nov. 3 to serve as a “community day.”
After I move back to New York City in June, I will likely not have the chance to learn how to safely use firearms, or learn about oceanography, or explore the complexities of our capital punishment system. Having the chance to do all these things at Cornell has made me a better student, and a more open-minded learner.
academic and institutional cooperation through the CU-IC exchange program allows students to explore different classes.
Students have the opportunity to delve into various unique physical education offerings at Cornell.
As a self-proclaimed petition pioneer, I wanted to provide some tips and tricks that I learned in the midst of submitting petitions for late adds, independent studies and various other non-traditional ways of obtaining credit so that you might be more prepared to petition yourself, should you ever need to.
This semester, I was faced with a dilemma that plagues many college students: Choosing between two classes for my major. One is a class that I am genuinely interested in, excited to learn about, and eager to take something away from. The other is a class that I know would be less work and would likely result in a better grade.
Most questions that come to mind aren’t grand or conceptual in any particular way; they arise in a much more preliminary stage of the learning process, as we try to understand the details of going from point A to B. It just wouldn’t be productive for all of our hands to shoot up when the professor asks “Any questions?”, only to go over a certain part of the lecture over again.
Financial literacy courses shouldn’t be about selecting stocks or advanced Excel modeling, but rather about developing ways to cope with all of the money concerns that will definitely crop up much sooner than expected. There are, unfortunately, so many other ways, in addition to student loans, to get into crippling debt. The sooner we’re taught how to make informed financial decisions, the more equipped we will be to handle whatever unknowns life throws at us.
One- and two-credit courses rarely shine on our course rosters. They are hidden in small departments, seldom publicized and most of the time fail to list who teaches the course. But, these courses remain some of the most invigorating, thought-provoking, engaging and impactful classes that most Cornellians have never even heard of. I have fortunately taken many one- and two-credit courses in my past two years here and I am here to encourage you all to do the same.
