<p>I have some interesting info on the language placement front. I just got off the phone with the testing office and apparently, after placing out of two semesters of language in the online test, the student can go in and take a more involved test in person, including a listening comprehension section. The catch is, if the student doesn’t do well on this in-person test, the results trump the on-line test, so the student could find himself placed in a lower level of Spanish than he received through on-line testing, and be required to take the language for more semesters.</p>
