With less than a week of classes left in the fall semester, students express feeling stressed as they begin to prepare for finals period, though they appreciate support from professors and course staff.
After two years of online exams owing to the pandemic, sophomores and first-years are to experience in-person finals for the first time.
On Tuesday, as active student cases surpassed 400, Cornell moved all final exams online. But some professors had already moved exams online for some or all of their students earlier in the week, taking precautions as active student cases spiked on campus.
As Cornell students now navigate both in-person and online final exams, cases have skyrocketed to a record-high 469 active student cases on campus — the highest number of positives on the Ithaca campus since the start of the pandemic.
As classes wrap up this Tuesday, students are preparing for their finals during the Study Period.
