Readings showcase the unique and diverse voices of Latina/o/x writers exploring the construction and complexity of identity; bilingualism and code-switching; the experiences of the colonial subject, the immigrant, the refugee, and the exile; borders literal and figurative; and the relationship between the writer’s ancestral homeland and the United States.  PREREQUISITE(S): A grade of C or better in ENGL 101/ENGL 011 or ENGL 101 or consent of the department.  Three hours lecture each week.

CCJS Advising

Good morning, Counseling friends!

I just wanted to give you heads up that send emails to students in both CCJS programs yesterday about our Fields of Study collaborations. We've collaborated with ARTT 161 (Digital Photography) and PHIL 201 (Morality and Contemporary Law). None of this info is listed on the FOS website yet, but we're trying to get it changed. The professors for PHIL 201 are happy to provide overrides if students haven't met the prerequisites.

 Also, with respect to the FOS courses on the website, ANTH 201 is not a good BSSD choice for CCJS students. We've asked that it be replaced with POLI 101 since that is a program requirement. 

 I sent messages to students from the past two catalog years, including catalog year 202320. In that group, there were 60 AA students and 143 AAS students. I suspect that many of the AAS students should be AA students based on transfer goals, and I included a note indicating that if students planned to transfer to UMD or other local institutions, they should consult a program advisor to determine if they need to change their majors. I provided our program advisors' info, but I wanted to give you a heads up in the event you see a larger than normal number of requests for CCJS advising. I'm sure that many of these students are self-advising, but hopefully, the outreach will help get them on the right track.

 

Thanks!

TEAS

Mr. Guillermo Laya, Director of the Assessment Center shared updated information about the TEAS exam.  Mr. Laya informed me that: 

ATI will be releasing the new TEAS Version 7 exam starting June 3, 2022

(This means that all schools and testing centers will be switched over to the TEAS 7 exam on June 3, 2022. At that time, the TEAS 6 exam will be retired, and students will be required to take the ATI TEAS Version 7 exam beginning June 3, 2022 and beyond).

According to ATI, a student’s TEAS Version 6 exam passed test scores will be accepted until the switched over TEAS Version 7 date above. The TEAS 6 and TEAS 7 exam scores are equated which means schools may accept a TEAS 6 or a TEAS 7 exam score and compare across all applicants and TEAS 6 and TEAS 7 scores. If a student has already taken the ATI TEAS 6 exam and achieved their desired score, the student should not have to take the ATI TEAS 7.

If you should have specific questions regarding the new upcoming change of the TEAS exam from TEAS Version 6 to TEAS Version 7, 

• the MC Assessment Center has a direct email that address questions regarding the TEAS:  TEASTesting@montgomerycollege.edu
• the ATI Live Chat number is: 1-800-667-7531
• the ATI website is: www.atitesting.com 
• moving forward, updated information will be shared with students at information sessions
