The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on 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:\u00a0a. The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other portions. 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.\u00a0b. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.c. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.\nWhere can I view my results?Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* 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.* The test assesses students\u2019 proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), NOT colloquial Arabic.\u00a0\u00a0* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge, 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.\u00a0* 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, 201, 401, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester, and Arabic 102, 202, 402, 504 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Students can take intensive Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 &102, combined), and Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202, combined) in the Spring\/Summer terms.If you have questions regarding the placement test, please contact the program director at, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"115643-21835172@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/115643", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"(PC Lab) MODERN LANGUAGES BUILDING 812 East Washington, 2001, Ann Arbor, MI 48104", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/10587", "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":21835172 } , "110231-21824647": { "datetime_modified":"20231026T111848", "datetime_start":"20231205T090000", "datetime_end":"20231205T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2023-12-05", "date_end":"2023-12-05", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Digital Engrams", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Digital Engrams: An installation Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist Gabriela Ruiz", "event_subtitle":"An installation Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist Gabriela Ruiz", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"The notion that our brains actually create memories first stored and then revisited has been contemplated since the time of Plato and Aristotle. These units of memory, or engrams, are poetic portals through which we time travel, gaining hindsight and foresight, more meaning and greater wisdom, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\r\n\r\nIn an era of iPhones, Macbooks, Instagram, and Facebook, everything that\u2019s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original \u2026 every day of every year, every meal of every trip, every postcard destination. With constant 24\/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \r\n\r\nIn Digital Engrams, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound, video, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \r\n\r\nRuiz\u2019s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\r\n\r\n\u2013Amanda Krugliak, IH Arts Curator\r\n\r\nAbout the artist:\r\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media, including sculpture, video, painting, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.\u2019s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico, Ruiz\u2019s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\r\n\r\nOne of L.A.\u2019s rising young talents, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022, part of the museum's Outburst project.\r\n\r\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

Through collaborations with her immediate community, and also using herself as a subject, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\r\n\r\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University\u2019s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\r\n\r\nIn Lee\u2019s photographic exploration, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. \u201cHolding Places\u201d is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\r\n\r\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were, but how she experienced them, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\r\n\r\nThrough Lee\u2019s lens, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past.
