The writing portion is completed via Zoom and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through Canvas site, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the first two portions of the test. The final result\/score\/rating will thus be based on the student\u2019s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.How is the result calculated?Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA Language Requirement.Where can I view my results?\u00a0Placement results are posted within 7 business days after taking the test. You will not be notified of your score automatically.\u00a0You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Please note that only students who are participating in the Spring\/Summer orientations are eligible to take the online placement test. If you are an existing UM student, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test.\u00a0* The test assesses students\u2019 proficiency in Standard Arabic (fuSHa), NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge in Standard Arabic (fuSHa), feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101, 121, 201, 221, 401, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester, and Arabic 102, 122, 202, 222, 402, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.UM\u2019s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of Standard Arabic (fuSHa).If you have questions regarding the placement test, please contact the Arabic program director at, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148396-21904183@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148396", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Zoom\/Canvas", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/17210", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Sessions @ Michigan", "group_id":"4791", "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21904183 } , "148371-21904056": { "datetime_modified":"20260521T112555", "datetime_start":"20260617T120000", "datetime_end":"20260617T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-06-17", "date_end":"2026-06-17", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Up, Up, And Away: A History of Ballooning in America", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Up, Up, And Away: A History of Ballooning in America", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"This exhibit examines the history of balloon flight in the United States from Blanchard\u2019s first ascension to the early twentieth century. In the age of bird\u2019s-eye views, which imagined a perspective on American cities and towns from high in the air, balloonists were the only people who actually had the opportunity to see what the growing nation looked like from above. As the nineteenth century progressed, ballooning became a lucrative (if dangerous) business, as crowds gathered to watch balloons launch, and to see aeronauts risk their lives high in the air. Over time, the image of the hot air balloon proliferated in American print culture, being used to sell goods ranging from thread to canned beef. We hope that this exhibit conveys some of the thrill that would have come from seeing people fly for the first time.\n\nOn view May 22-August 28, weekdays from 12-4 pm.", "occurrence_notes":"Arrive at our North Entrance to check-in.

Offered through the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, the program provides a rigorous and flexible curriculum that blends theoretical foundations with practical application \u2014 entirely online.\n\nSampling in Practice\n\nUnlocking the art and science of sampling with an applied, hands-on approach, the course Sampling in Practice is designed for applied practitioners who want to master real-world sampling techniques through active learning and practical programming. Students will learn about probability sampling methods, including simple random sampling, stratification, systematic selection, cluster sampling, probability proportional to size sampling, and multistage sampling. We will also cover sampling cost models, sampling error estimation techniques, non-sampling errors, missing data, and nonprobability samples. The course emphasizes practical implementation, featuring interactive coding exercises and in-class examples to reinforce each concept. A culminating project will give students the opportunity to integrate multiple techniques into a comprehensive sample design and demonstrate the profession in designing surveys, selecting subjects, analyzing sample data, and solving real sampling problems using modern statistical tools.\n\nWhy take this course? \n\nThe course is crafted for students and practitioners eager: \n\nTo build proficiency in modern sampling techniques through active engagement and practical coding experience\nTo understand the basic ideas, concepts and principles of probability sampling from an applied perspective\nTo be able to identify and appropriately apply sampling techniques to survey design problems\nTo understand and be able to assess the impact of the sample design on survey estimates\nTo be able to compute the sample size for a variety of sample designs\nTo learn how to design and select a probability sample involving complex sampling techniques in a survey project, and receive expert feedback on a sampling report. \n\nYajuan Si is a Research Associate Professor in the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science, located within in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan.
