On October 10th, Kaplan will be offering a campus-wide opportunity for students to take a free practice GRE, LSAT, MCAT, DAT and OAT administered under simulated testing conditions.
Kaplan’s Practice Test is a terrific opportunity for prospective graduate, law, medical, dental, optometry, and pharmacy students to answer a critical question, "If I took the exam today, how would I score?"
Last year, tens of thousands of Kaplan Practice Test participants assessed their test-taking skills while learning valuable strategies to help them improve their score on the real test. Since admission to law, business, grad, medical, dental, optometry, and pharmacy school is fierce, a high score on your entrance exam can give you an edge.
We would like to invite you to participate in the 2009 ‘Back to School’ Kaplan Practice Test taking place at Indiana University on October 10th. Testing will begin promptly at 9:00am. At the conclusion of each test, one of our expert Kaplan instructors will give a short workshop on test taking strategies and answer any questions. Test scores will then be returned to students later that day from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. At this time, students will receive individualized feedback on their performance and will have a one on one consultation with a Kaplan expert to discuss their test results, any questions they may have.
To register for Kaplan’s Practice Test, you may call 1-800-KAP-TEST today or visit us online at www.kaptest.com/practice.
Are you thinking about an MBA? Take a GMAT Practice Test via our Live Online student interface. Visit www.kaptest.com for more details!
We look forward to providing you with this valuable service.
Sincerely,
Cassie Potts
Operations Manager

Spaces still available in Journalism Fall 2009 2nd 8 week course
Just a reminder that the following 2nd 8 week course in Journalism has plenty of available seats.
The course, JOUR-C 201, Hot Topics in Journalism, does not count in the Journalism major. It is designed for non-journalism students. If a student has taken "Hot Topics" before, then they should not re-take it as the course will be a course repeat. I'd be glad to answer student or advisor questions.
Please let me know if you have questions. Also, Ms. Linda Long, Student Services Assistant, is the primary contact for questions about the course. Please call her at 855-9248, e-mail ljlong@indiana.edu.
Thank you for sharing the information with your students.

JOUR-C201: Hot topics in journalism. Does not count in Journalism degree, for non-majors. 2nd 8 week course. 3 credits.
TWO CLASSES:
7644, 6-8 pm, MW, Woodburn 100, Instructor Jeff Cannon.
9556, 5:45-7:45 pm, TR, Ernie Pyle hall 220, Instructor Curt Wellman
Do the media occupy a "hot" space in audiences' everyday lives? Without
the media, how do we come to know the "who, what, where, when, and why"
of newsworthy people and controversies in politics, economics, and
entertainment?
The colorful images and words of newspapers, television news and online
journalism have created a shared media culture with audiences across
the world. Many people encounter the media in airports, cafes,
classrooms, living rooms, gyms and in their cars. In the United States,
it has become increasingly difficult to avoid or escape media. In this
course, we will go behind the curtains of online information, newspaper
pages, and television screens to gain a better understanding of how
media shape the reality that we sometimes take for granted. This
includes media coverage of war, politics and sports, and issues such as
media privacy and bias.
Although this is a journalism course, this is not a writing course.
Grades will be determined through a series of quizzes, a midterm exam
and final exam. Test material will be taken from assigned reading and
from lectures.

Q294 Student Panel Invitaton
Hello!
My name is Adam Heeg and I am an Assistant Director at the Career Development Center. I am recruiting students to take part in our Q294: Basic Career Development Student Panels, and would like to invite you to participate in this experience. You have been identified as an outstanding upperclassman and we would be thrilled to have you speak in one of our classes this fall to give advice to younger students about getting involved and how it can benefit their college experience. This is a great chance to mentor and inspire those who are just starting their time at IU. Plus, it can serve as a great addition to your resumes!
Each panel will be composed of 3 – 4 students. As a panelist, you will get to discuss your experiences, and then field questions from the students in the class. The panel usually takes around an hour. Please see the chart below for the dates and times:
