Portable CD Players may be checked out on a daily basis only. Placement Tests are given in the lab daily. No appointment is needed to take the test. Students should allot at least one hour to take the test. Tests taken on Friday and Saturday will be ready on Monday morning.
Tests are available in French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian, and Spanish.
Make up tests may be given in the language lab throughout the quarter. Instructors need only leave testing materials and a completed Testing Information Form at the front of the lab. Student assistants will then administer the tests as students come in and process the finished tests according to instructions left by the instructor. Students may come to the lab to use Computer Aided Language Learning Programs such as Dasher for Mac and Windows and WinCalis for Windows, type and spell-check papers written in a foreign language, and to use various other software programs as needed. Students given internet-based assignments may come to the lab and utilize the World Wide Web, check their Email, and access information data bases worldwide.
