Questions for Cornell Students ...

Colleges & Universities Cornell University
1

<p>I know I just keep asking questions, but I have three more:</p>

<p>1) How common is it for classes w/in CALS (and Cornell in general) to have exams and/or quizzes online? My college does this super annoying thing where we’ll have timed online quizzes almost nightly in Chemsitry… they suck!</p>

<p>2) What is the general format for exams in small classes? Large classes? The largest classes here use almost solely multiple choice. I know it’s not really an answerable question, but please try.</p>

<p>3) Do most professors learn their students names/recognize their faces? Generally how long does it take?</p>

<p>I know those are odd questions, but please humor a terrified/inquisitive prospective CALS transfer!
Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m not in CALS but I think it’s generally true here that:</p>

<p>1) Not sure, I haven’t heard of any
2) Exams usually aren’t heavy on multiple choice, even in large classes.
3) Profs will recognize your face/learn your name if you talk to them frequently, maybe to ask a question after lecture or go in for office hours.</p>
