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":"145815-21897845@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145815", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Zoom\/Camvas", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/16636", "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":21897845 } , "143999-21894503": { "datetime_modified":"20260224T101438", "datetime_start":"20260507T120000", "datetime_end":"20260507T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-07", "date_end":"2026-05-07", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Thomas Paine\u2019s \u201cCommon Sense\u201d was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution.

Evaluations of such interventions can adjust for baseline differences between clusters with matching, then address persisting imbalances through regression adjustment. The Peters-Belson (PB)\/Oaxaca-Blinder (OB) estimator fits a regression to predict outcomes individuals would have had if they were in the control condition, and adjusts for imbalances in predicted outcomes by comparing individuals\u2019 differences between observed and predicted outcomes.\n\nThis dissertation begins by showing that in studies that enroll or match only a small number of clusters, the regression fit contributes non-negligibly to variability of the PB\/OB estimator both across studies and across treatment allocations within studies. It makes two proposals in response: first, incorporating auxiliary clusters\u2014those that are not retained in the initial cluster match\u2014into the regression fit, and second, defining the regression coefficients and the PB\/OB estimator as M-estimators of regression. The first proposal exhibits promising gains in precision in simulations and an empirical application, while the second exhibits improved estimation of sampling variability over variance estimators that ignore variation from the coefficient estimates, particularly when paired with a novel jackknife-type bias correction.\n\nThe CR2 adjustment is a widely used bias correction for cluster-robust variance estimates, but it may be computationally infeasible in studies with large clusters given existing routines\u2019 reliance on obtaining spectral decompositions of estimated cluster-specific covariance matrices. Chapter 4 provides exact representations of CR2 that obviate this step of the computations, reducing walltime of CR2 estimates from over a day to just over a minute in settings previously deemed too computationally burdensome.\n\nThe concluding chapter focuses on the initial cluster-level match, proposing two propensity score (PS) estimators that balance latent confounders when only noisy measurements are available, if they are available at all. These PS estimators improve matching feasibility and reduce the MSE of treatment effect estimators compared to propensity scores generated from a logistic regression fit to the noisy measurements.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148137-21903034@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148137", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "campus_maps_id":"163", "room":"438", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics Dissertation Defenses", "group_id":"4045", "website":"" } ], "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":21903034 } , "147667-21901543": { "datetime_modified":"20260417T102408", "datetime_start":"20260507T160000", "datetime_end":"20260507T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-07", "date_end":"2026-05-07", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Global Psychedelic Survey 2025", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Global Psychedelic Survey 2025: Primary Findings & Regional Differences in Psychedelic Use, Motivations & Sourcing in a Global Multilingual Sample", "event_subtitle":"Primary Findings & Regional Differences in Psychedelic Use, Motivations & Sourcing in a Global Multilingual Sample", "event_type":"Livestream \/ Virtual", "event_type_id":"24", "description":"This talk is part of the Michigan Psychedelic Center's 2026 Seminar Series: Psychedelics \u2014 From Cells to Society.

Understanding the diverse lived experiences of people who use psychedelics is critical to inclusively advancing psychedelic-related public policy, harm reduction and clinical study design.\n\nMethods\nThe Global Psychedelic Survey (GPS) 2025 is an online multi-lingual cross-sectional international survey developed by over 80 academic collaborators and 40 non-government organizations. It gathered details on characteristics, psychedelic and other substance use, and associated self-reported outcomes among a global sample of people who use psychedelics. \n\nResults\nGPS 2025 recruited 9087 respondents (mean age: 41.8 years) from 105 countries. Most respondents had used psilocybin (87.3%), LSD (73.4%) and MDMA (71.9%). Personal growth was the most cited reason for use (85.7%), followed by recreation (61.5%), and general wellbeing (61.3%). We found significant regional differences in primary variables like access (e.g., more regulated access in Canada\/USA, online dealer access in Asia, spiritual leader access in Central\/South America), substances used (e.g., more nitrous oxide and ketamine use in Canada\/USA and Oceania, synthetic tryptamine use in Asia), and reasons for use (e.g., more use for mental and physical health in Canada\/US, boredom and productivity in Asia).\n\nDiscussion\nGPS 2025 extends our understanding of global psychedelic use, revealing a complex and heterogeneous global community that spans continents, languages, and traditions. Continued efforts to integrate community-based evidence with clinical research and international policy development will be essential to optimize the potential personal, public health and therapeutic benefits of psychedelics, while minimizing associated risks and harms.\n\nSpeaker\nPhilippe Lucas, PhD, is a cannabis and psychedelic researcher and a lifelong safe access advocate.
