Scenario: Choosing Classes

Constantin is allowed to sign up for 2 KU classes. He has met several times with an AEC counselor about other topics. She was very helpful to him, and he’d like her to help him select his classes. However, the label on his enrollment information says he must go see an advisor in Strong Hall. What should he do?

My dog ate my homework!

My printer ran out of ink!

My homework is finished. It’s on my flash drive. I just need to print it. I’ll give it to

you as soon as I can get to the lab.

But you didn’t tell us the homework was due today!

Scenario: Trouble in Class

Although Li-Ting has trouble understanding her psychology professor’s lectures, she works hard to understand the assigned readings. However, the first exam had questions that she didn’t remember from the readings, and she got a grade of D! She is very upset and feels like all the other students are smarter than she is. What can she do?

Scenario: Finding Help

Liliana is working on a report for her history class. This grade is very important, and she wants to make sure she writes a good paper. She has heard that there are places on campus where students can get help with their writing, but she doesn’t know where. What can she do?
