This weekend the Chinese and Russian School completed their placement testing. Both schools encouraged their students to take placement tests before they arrived at Middlebury and about half their students did this. The rest of their students took the placement tests at Middlebury.

The Chinese and Russian School will analyze test results this weekend and place students in levels of study appropriate to their current proficiency in these languages. We will then get a list of all students in levels that are part of the iPod Pilot program and give this to the library circulation desk.

Alex Chapin has scheduled meetings next week in the Wilson Media Lab with students and faculty that are in iPod Pilot program. We hope these students and faculty will pick up their iPods before this iPod orientation meeting. Alex will essentially introduce them to the iPod and walk them through the documentation on this site.

On hand will be Duncan Sanford, Iskandar Aminov, and Pascal Maharjan, students working in the Wilson Media Lab who helped set up the iPods.
