<content:encoded><![CDATA[Planning to take “Introduction Multiplatform Reporting and Writing” (JOUR 2310 and 2311)? You’ll first have to pass our new grammar test, which is being offered through a partnership with the Poynter Institute. (Students who have already taken J1330 and passed with a C or better are exempt.)

You will need to enroll in the course Language Primer: Basics of Grammar, Punctuation and Word Use (Ohio University Edition) available online at Poynter’s NewsU website: <a href="http://www.newsu.org/courses/language-primer-fall12-ohio"><b>www.newsu.org</b></a>. The cost to access the course, which includes practice drills and the final exam, is $12.95. 

Please note:  You can take the exam up to three times, but only an exam taken in the Scripps 006 lab counts toward meeting the prerequisite for JOUR 2310/2311.

You’ll be able to take the grammar exam by going to the Scripps 006 lab located on the ground floor any time during open lab hours, which are posted on the door. You will need to have your ID with you so we can verify your identity. Only tests taken in the lab during these times will be valid.

To pass, you must receive a score of 75% or above. If you don’t pass the exam after three attempts, you should plan to enroll in “Precision Language” (JOUR1330) for additional preparation.  

Want to work on your grammar even more?  You also can purchase “Working with Words” by the Missouri Group, the text used in the Precision Language course.

For questions, please contact Ellen Gerl at <a mailto:gerl@ohio.edu>gerl@ohio.edu</a> or Hans Meyer at <a mailto:meyerh@ohio.edu>meyerh@ohio.edu</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[This page offers details about special academic advising designed to help students transition from quarters to semesters.  In the FAQ section below, we have tried to anticipate some of your questions about the switch to semesters. Check back here as we update the info throughout the school year.

Transition advising begins January 2012. Your regular faculty adviser is your transition adviser. If you don’t know who this is, you can find out by checking your <a href=http://myohio.edu>myohio.edu</a> page.

In January, the School of Journalism will send you an email with information about when the advising begins and how to sign up. As with regular academic advising, your adviser will place a sign-up sheet on his or her office door. You will need to sign up for a specific time. Transition advising will take approximately 30 minutes.

At your transition advising appointment your faculty adviser will have available your DARS and a Transition Degree Completion Form. This one-page document acts as a guide to the courses you will need to complete your degree. During this meeting, you will see how the credit hours you have already completed under quarters translate to semester hours, and you will plot a course of action to finish your requirements.

To prepare for transition advising, come with some ideas about what courses you are considering taking spring quarter 2012.  You might want to take a look at the Transition Degree Completion Form and review the checksheet that shows requirements of the News &amp; Information and Strategic Communications tracks in the semester curriculum. 

FAQs

Q. I am a senior. Do I need to make a transition advising appointment?

A. No, not if you plan to apply for graduation prior to the switch to semesters in fall quarter 2012.

Q. I am studying abroad winter quarter. What should I do?

A. Schedule an appointment with your academic adviser shortly after spring quarter 2012 begins.

Q. I am a dual major. Do I need to schedule a transition advising appointment with my faculty adviser for each major?

A. Yes.
