However current sophomores ^e s^ excused from the test, announced on Tuesday- The sophotnore writing „ent has changed sin^ its.nc^ fion 10 years ago. For th p three years, Elon has had the wnt- te'st online, rather than m year problems have ^ h.it this year the prob- r“^ more costly. Accoiding oCTris Fulkerson, assistant v.ce- ^resiint for Technology, one server failed. Usually, this would go unnoticed because the other servers would help that server, but because of the high volume of users, the system crashed. In previous years, stu dents could only log in once so if they pressed the “back” button they would have problems get ting logged in. That problem was fixed for this year. Despite technological prob lems, Braye would still like to see the test online. The administration receives more helpful feedback from the online test than in pre vious years when the test was administered in classrooms. “We usually get better responses online,” said Braye. “No one wants to be in a classroom at 7:30 a.m. writing in a blue book.” The test is used to determine how different general studies courses have shaped Elon students as freshmen and sophomores. Because Elon a variety of courses to fill general studies require ments, not all students have the same experience their first two years. “How do you compare intro to biology to intro to religious studies?” Braye said. “This test helps us find out what impact Elon has had in the past two years.” Contact Krista Naposki at pendu- liim@elon.edu or 278-7247.
