Health Fair Visit.

On Wednesday, April 9, we will visit the Health Fair in the Student Ballroom from 10:00- 10:45. Students really enjoy this opportunity because they can not only meet a variety of health officials, but they can also have their vision and hearing checked as well as blood pressure, height and weight, and other features. Your task for this activity is to write a one-page report for Thursday.

Last Chapter Test.

We will finish the Introduction section of this chapter on Friday, and you will have your last test on Tuesday, April 15. We will continue with the Exploration section of Chapter Three. Your final exam will have two parts: the listening part will be on Wednesday, April 23; the reading part will be on Thursday, April 24. The final exam cannot be rescheduled. Please be aware that if you miss the final exam, you will receive a zero grade.

Class Visitation Summary.

On Friday, April 11, your last task for the Class Visitation Project will be to fill out a summary report of the project. I hope this has been a useful activity for you this semester. I will give a presentation on this project at the ARKTESOL meeting in April so that other university and college teachers can help their students find out what General Education classes and Major classes are like.
