Introduction

• The GEP (General Education Program) Assessments
  are a part of a university mandated initiative.
  Students enrolled in selected sections of
  COM1000, SPC1016, and SPC1600 are required to
  participate in the assessments. The pre-test and
  post-tests are timed, multiple choice tests. They
  are intended to measure what each student knows
  prior to receiving any course instruction.
  Although the scores on these assessments will not
  impact students grades, students are required to
  complete the assessments to receive credit for
  the course.
• The following slides contain a tutorial to help
  students complete the COM1000, SPC1016 SPC1600
