DWRI 0093 Course Exit Assignment

Spring 2010 Online and Saturday Classes

In order to receive a grade higher than E in Developmental Writing 0093, you must earn a passing grade in your coursework and on the Course Exit Assignment, which consists of Accuplacer (essay only) and an in-class multiple choice grammar test.  The Course Exit Assignment will be administered in the Richland College Testing Center Thursday, April 22, 2010, through Monday, April 26, 2010. No appointment is necessary.  Students will have one and one half hours to complete the Accuplacer essay.  The passing score on the essay is “5” or higher.  All students will receive an essay score report upon completion of the test. 

The passing score on the grammar test is 70%; for Saturday classes, this test will be administered by your instructor in class. Online students will take this portion of the test in the Test Center between April 22 and April 26. Students must receive a passing score on BOTH sections of the CEA in order to pass Developmental Writing 0093.

Students are 100% responsible for taking the Accuplacer CEA during the scheduled examination period for DWRI 0093 students.  Students who do not take Accuplacer during the scheduled examination period will receive a CEA performance grade of “E” or “F.” Students who wait until the last minute to take Accuplacer may find the Testing Center full.  Because there are no makeup tests, plan ahead and schedule your time wisely.
