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":"148394-21904181@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148394", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Canvas\/Zoom", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/17208", "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":21904181 } , "148371-21904040": { "datetime_modified":"20260521T112555", "datetime_start":"20260601T120000", "datetime_end":"20260601T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-06-01", "date_end":"2026-06-01", "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.

Students also learn how to design and conduct core data collection methods - in-depth interviews, focus groups, and observation \u2013 and a range of field tasks such as transcription and field training. Then writing and critiquing qualitative methods for academic work. The course is highly interactive, emphasizing both the principles and skill development through applied activities. The course needs a minimum of 6 registrants and has an enrollment capacity of 10. \n\nDr. Monique Hennink is Professor in the Hubert Department of Global Health in the Rollins School of Public Health and Associated Faculty in Sociology at Emory University.

She developed the 'QUAL-WORKS' (https:\/\/sph.emory.edu\/qual-works) training program in 2013 for public health professionals. Her courses, workshops and books reflect the application of qualitative methods in globally diverse settings and provide guidance on how to balance methodological rigor with the practical realities of global research. She has also published on various methodological aspects of qualitative research, such as using interpreters and translators in qualitative data collection; the effect of using court reporters on data quality; estimating sample size in qualitative studies; and highlighting emerging methodological issues in focus group research. She has served as a board member for SAGE Publications on their \u2018Cases in Methodology\u2019 work and on the editorial board of the International Journal of Multiple Research Approaches. She co-chaired a three-year scientific panel for the International Union of the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP), on \u2018Qualitative Research in Population Studies\u2019 which had a mandate to promote rigor in the use of qualitative methods in the discipline.
