Students must register beforehand
through the IEOP e-Learning site, which is located at http://elearning.ieop.iastate.edu/index.php.
After logging in, they should click
on the link on the left that says “Practice Test Registration” and
follow the instructions.
Students need to bring their ISU
card, one or two pencils, and a good eraser. I will supply all
other testing materials, including the answer key and guidance on
how to calculate the converted score.
Please encourage all students to

I missed seeing all of
you at the party at the union today. I hope you all consider
the chance to join the conversation club to improve your spoken
English.
Meanwhile, I want to make sure that my Writing students (Writing 2C)
get the message that we will be meeting in McKay 213 tomorrow.
If you know someone in my Writing class, please tell that person
about the room change. IEOP does not have email addresses or
phone numbers for those students to tell them about changes.
Reading students
(Reading 4D) will meet in LeBaron 67. Please note this new
room.
I
hope to see all of you tomorrow. If class is cancelled again,
I will post that cancelation on this page.

IEOP has cancelled
classes today due to weather conditions.
IEOP has asked me to
announce the following:
Please tell your students
that the IEOP Conversation Club will meet for the first time for the
spring semester Wednesday, January 20. The students should meet the
leaders at the "Underground" recreation center in the Memorial Union
at 3:10 pm. Students can enjoy free bowling and pool. This is a
student mixer that allows the leaders to introduce themselves to the
students. The "Underground" is located on the lower level of the
Memorial Union.
We are still having the mixer at the union,
even though classes are cancelled. I look forward to seeing
you all there.
