Getting Help

You are not alone in 3110. Here’s how to get help.

Help on assignments

• Talk to your study squad. Collaborate; help one another solve problems.

• Ask your peers for help on Campuswire. And help your peers out, too, by answering their questions.

• Ask instructors for help in office hours. We have about 130 person-hours scheduled each week.

Help with a dead laptop

• The Cornell Library has a limited number of short-term and extended-term laptop loans available.

• The Uris computer labs can be a good place to work.

Help with your iClicker

• CIT provides technical support for iClicker.

Help about grades

• Contact your section TA and ask to schedule a meeting.

Help from the professor

• Because of the size of the class, please try to resolve issues with your section TA before escalating to the professor.

• The best way to get help is in person. Please, chat with me after class or come to my office hours. Subject to my availability, I’m also happy to schedule meetings with you outside office hours.

• Email tends to be overused. Please try to avoid it. I never discuss grades over email.

Help in times of distress

• Let’s Talk is a drop-in service that offers informal, confidential consultation with a Cornell Health counselor.

• Empathy, Assistance and Referral Service (EARS) is a peer counseling program; it is anonymous, free, and confidential.

• Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) provides confidential, professional support for approximately 20% of Cornell’s students each year.

• Are you concerned about a fellow student? Please don’t delay in offering support, or consulting with someone who can help. Here are tips on how to respond.

• The Cornell Caring Community maintains a directory of many other resources available to help you.
