Questionnaire (PLEASE HELP!) >To: [log in to unmask] >cc: Claire Bartlett <[log in to unmask]> Doug, Here is my belated reply. 1. What placement test do you use? Our own on-line tests, using ExTemplate, assessing speaking, listening, writing and reading. 2. Is credit awarded for classes that they place out of? If so, how does that work in your institution? No credit, just placement. 3. Are students required to take the exam in-person even though the exam is online? If not, how have you addressed the potential for academic dishonesty? Students take the tests on-line during the summer from anywhere in the world, or at the latest during Orientation week for freshmen. Rice has an honor code and students have to agree to the honor code on the first page of the placement test. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck, Claire --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claire Bartlett Director, Language Resource Center Voice: (713) 348-6156 Assoc.
