The L111 and L112 exemption exams are being offered for the Spring 2011 semester this WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12 at 7pm in Jordan Hall 124. Sign up today or tomorrow in the Biology Undergraduate Advising Office (Jordan Hall A115).Students may sign up for one or both exams, and students may take each exam twice during their time at IU.
The exam is a 40 question, multiple-choice exam (passing score = 24). Students do receive 3 credit hours for passing the exam, but no letter grade.
Please note: some graduate/professional schools will not count test credit toward their prerequisites. Check with your intended school or with HPPLC for more information.

EDUC-X 101: Learning Strategies for MATH-D 116
The Student Academic Center will offer the following course starting Fall Term 2010:
EDUC-X 101: Learning Strategies for MATH-D 116 Class Number 31252 Tuesday and Thursday
4:00-5:15 p.m.
BH 322
This is a 2 credit, semester-long, graded course, open to students enrolled in MATH-D 116 during the same semester.
Course Description:
Although the pace of MATH-D 116 is comfortable for most low-skilled math students, the material is nevertheless quite challenging and requires that students to be able to learn math independently. The X101 course is specifically designed to help students to become active, independent problem solvers who understand the finite mathematical concepts in contrast to an approach that relies on memorization, learning step-by-step procedures and outside authority telling the student how to solve the problems. Therefore X101 should be very beneficial for any D116 student. Students will be given many in-class opportunities to practice applying these higher level thinking skills of “questioning” and “thinking” to more finite math problems beyond those provided in the finite textbook and periodically under simulated test conditions. In addition, special individual walk-in evening D116 help sessions will be available to X101 students.
Course Objectives:
• Become more active learners who take control of their own learning by anticipating the upcoming lecture/discussion, summarizing the most recent lecture/discussion, and formulating questions they hope will be answered as they attend a lecture/discussion or read a text.
• Improve reading efficiency by learning how to read math texts actively, strategically, and critically to identify major math concepts and procedures.
• Analyze their own problem solving processes by becoming aware of what they know, need to know and are learning so they can relate new information to prior knowledge and solve math problems more independently.
• Approach learning as an on-going process that requires the use of a variety of study skills and time management.
• Discuss D116 topics and learn collaboratively with X101 peers.
• Learn effective test taking strategies for math exams and practice a variety of study tools that can be applied to all college courses.
• Practice the application of D116 knowledge under simulated test conditions followed by feedback concerning problem solving.

Details on the Upcoming SIS Upgrade
Here are some details about the SIS upgrade and how it will effect student advising:
Various computing functions will be taken off line Friday, February 15, 2008 for 6 days as the university migrates to a new version of the applications you are familiar with for looking at your transcript, degree progress report, registering for classes, drop and add, and several other important functions. Many functions will be affected, and when the system comes back on line Thursday, February 21st, it will have an entirely new look and feel starting with Onestart. Onestart is a local, IU designed, web portal that connects you to applications and services including those provided by Oracle (formerly PeopleSoft). Friday the university is migrating to Oracle 9.0 on all campuses (the downtime will be university wide).
Here is the immediate impact to you, the student. First, for 6 days starting next Friday, academic advisors and others normally involved with student records and services will not have access to most of the tools we use to help you. We won’t be able to answer questions during that period based on your record. If you are thinking about scheduling an advising appointment, call (812) 855-2151 before Friday! Most advisors plan to spend Friday, and the following Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday catching up on training and other things we can do to prepare for the new system.
Second, the system will have a new look and feel on Wednesday, February 20th. The functionality will be the same, but some of the things you are used to will be in different places. For example, the Onestart services tab will open with a view of your schedule, any holds on your record or bursar balance, and a few other things of that nature. To look at your degree progress report you will need to go a little deeper into Onestart to find it. Look for something called the “Student Center” when you open the Onestart services tab. This will take you to lots of the tools you are familiar with.
The new system is more dynamic, and as it evolves, you are going to see improvements in all areas. There will be a student academic planner, which is merely a place where you can make notes about courses you plan to take in various semesters. However, you will be able to load courses from your planner into the registration system when its time for you to register for classes. This migration is taking us to a more powerful system and we expect growing pains, of course, but also a much better system as the university continually improves it.
