Social Studies Praxis Exam Workshop

All History students either pursuing Teaching Certification in Social
Studies or thinking of it:

A Social Studies Praxis Workshop will be held on Thursday, March 31, from 12:30-1:30 in Raubinger 210, led by Profs. Burt Weltman (Ed Dept) & Susan Bowles (History). You are invited to attend.

Majors take note: the History Department is now >requiring< you to attend at least one of these sessions if you plan on pursuing Social Studies certification. Attendance will be taken!

We wish to emphasize that this is not a pointless bureaucratic obstacle being put in your way. The Department is trying to assist you in every way possible to pass the state-mandated Praxis Exam, the first time you take it.

Questions should be directed either to Burt Weltman or to Sue Bowles.

I think this is a bureaucratic obstacle being put in some peoples way since there are those who have the ability to pass the test on their own. This is not to say that I expect to pass it on the first try. I will probably struggle with it.

You've just demolished your own argument, haven't you? If you don't expect to pass it on the first try, then you OUGHT to come whether it's required or not. We're trying to HELP you.
