At an institution like Cornell, students may find it difficult to take a course with minimal work and a high class average. Every semester, there are students who sit for hours on Schedulizer trying to find that one “Easy A” course that can make up for their marginal grades in classes like Orgo and Multivariate Analysis. Much to their disappointment, there are none. Intro to acting? Not quite. History of rock and roll? Think again. Students are speaking up, and it is getting increasingly difficult to silence them.
Freshman Tori Reed had a lot to say about this controversy: “My classes are like, really hard. All I’m asking is for a class on, I don’t know, Facebook stalking. I’d totes get an A in that.” She continued, “It’s weird. I can remember how much each type of shot is at JO’s but I can’t remember how many protons Helium has.” Junior Evan Lewis agreed: “I’d LOVE a class on funny YouTube videos. I watched that Nike Commercial about LeBron being gay like 600 times.”
Oh, if only we went to a school where the administration cared about us having fun over getting an education. Keep dreaming, Cornell…
