"This is a fun way to get the students' attention," stated Dr. Celeste Evans, Assistant Professor and Interim Chair of the Department of Theatre. "We wanted to remind the students of the importance of this test." According to Evans, the test will examine the students general knowledge of general subjects such as math, science and english. The results of the test will determine what changes need to be made to the curriculum of general education classes.
