<p>Thanks for posting. Good for you and your classmates for working together to find out what is going on. Good luck with everything and don’t let this ruin how you feel about Cornell.</p>
<p>Definitely not, Lindz, and thanks! I love Cornell and I liked my other courses this semester, sort of. I really hope my parents understand this is no reflection of my studying habits or focus in class, because I’m really excited for classes like Neurobio, Oceanography, and Natural Remedies in the fall and don’t want a dumb subjective comm course to take away from those.</p>
<p>wateradept, please keep this thread updated with what you find out from the dept head! i now have no idea whether to take comm 1300, which was a major fixture in my schedule since it’s a prereq for any other related classes!</p>
<p>it’s kind of necessary for anything I am interested in…graphic design, layout, styling, art direction for publications…</p>
<p>Well, the TA for the class updated my assignments, at least raising me to a passing D+. I’m waiting for my professor to respond (or not respond) before I send something to the department head. I requested a recheck of my final exam, since I’m gonna take a wild guess and say one of the TAs graded it. If he refuses or says I can’t view the exam, then I’m emailing the department head to see if it will at least count in the major.</p>
<p>alamode, I wouldn’t be too worried, many people did just fine in the course (of course the same number of us got C+ and under). If advertisements and camera angles are your kind of thing, you’ll enjoy the class even if Scherer is a dud.</p>
<p>Cornell University policy is that you have a right to look over your graded final exam. If he denies you that privilege, then I would definitely email the department head or one of the deans.</p>
