The Writing Proficiency Exam<\/p>\n

Allotted Time for Exam: From Tuesday 4\/21\/20, 8:00AM to Wednesday 4\/22\/20, 8:00AM (24 hours)<\/p>\n

The Writing Proficiency Exam will be administered through Turnitin on Moodle. For this exam the student is to write a five-paragraph essay consisting of an introduction, three body- paragraphs, and conclusion (about 600 words total).<\/p>\n

Topics will be provided on Moodle on the day of the WPE. The student will choose one of two topics as the emphasis for the essay: expository and argumentative. Student must complete this essay using Microsoft Word Doc format. No other formats are acceptable. Essay must also be formatted according to MLA guidelines. No research or source material is allowed in the completion of this assignment. WPEs must consist of the student\u2019s original thoughts and ideas. Because this is a university exam and requirement, we will strictly adhere to the university\u2019s Academic Dishonesty policy. Any WPEs exhibiting plagiarism to any extent will receive a failing grade.<\/p>\n

The following outcomes are used to measure student success on the Writing Proficiency Examination:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The student has written an essay addressing the assigned topic (consistent focus on topic).<\/p>\n

\u2022 The student has appropriately and thoroughly discussed the assigned topic (development<\/p>\n

of ideas throughout)<\/p>\n

\u2022 The student has organized the essay indicative of an overall plan (organization).<\/p>\n

\u2022 The student states and develops a central idea (clear thesis with three areas of discussion).<\/p>\n

\u2022 The student has avoided serious errors in diction, grammar, sentence structure, and<\/p>\n

paragraph development.<\/p>\n

After the student has completed the essay, he\/she must upload their WPE to Moodle before the allotted time is over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
