WELCOME To Econ 1110-WissinkWelcome to (or back to) Ithaca and Cornell. Welcome to Economics 1110 Introductory Microeconomics Lecture 1 Web address for THIS class: WRITE THIS DOWN https://courses.cit.cornell.edu/econ1110jpw/

Dated announcements for the class: See our Cornell Blackboard site. If you have successfully enrolled in the class & a section via Student Center, then you are automatically enrolled on our Blackboard site. If you are currently a "guest" in the class, hoping to get in, then you can access the announcements on Blackboard by going to the site. You will need to search for the site on Blackboard.If you are still not in the class, please come down front and see the Head TA right after class.

If you are already in the class and really MUST switch your section, SEE ME! Do not try to drop the lecture and section and then get in something else while the class is full. YOU MIGHT END UP DROPPING YOURSELF OUT AND THEN YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET BACK IN!

If you are NOT in the class at all yet...

keep trying and trying. Persevere. Check the Cornell web-based drop/add system as much as you can. All drops/adds/switches should be done via the Cornell web-based drop/add system.

At this point in time there is no "waiting list" and no "manual overrides" for this class given the 24-7 nature of electronic drop/add/switch at the start of each semester. Make sure you have a back up plan just in case the spot you are hoping to get never becomes available.

You are welcome to UNOFFICIALLY attend lecture and section even if you have not yet registered. NOTE: THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE that you will get into the class. It's a gamble. I will do my best to get the people who do not intend to take the class to drop ASAP, so that spots open up. That's why it's essential that you continue to persevere on line as much as you can. PLEASE ALSO COME DOWN FRONT AT THE END OF EACH CLASS AND PUT YOUR NAME ON THE I ATTENDED LIST Adding & Switching
