Proficiency Exams

Hey all:

Here is a list of proficiency tests that are due:

JOU 220:

Every test on this page and the Word test on this page. You have until the end of the semester and there are only 2 grades: A or F. So turn them in early so you can correct what you missed. Then you’ll apply that knowledge to your stories.

EMB 265:

Every test on this page. You have until the end of the semester and there are only 2 grades: A or F. So turn them in early so you can correct what you missed. Then you’ll apply that knowledge to your stories.

Good luck and as always email or post questions.

File Names and Structures

Hey all:

As we discussed in class, your files (those Word documents you are sending me) should be in this format:

  • JOU 220: lastname.pitch1.doc (or lastname.story1.doc)
  • EMB 265: lastname.story1.doc or lastname.story2.doc

The reason: when you hit the real world, the news organization you will be working with will have some type of content management system the uses tracking. Oftentimes, file names are the first tracking mechanism — so you need to get used to paying attention to every aspect of what you do.

This is a requirement, not an option. I will not grade papers that are saved incorrectly.
