CIEE Semester Courses

[Katya Hokanson]

Dear All,

A student of mine is on the G.I. Bill and plans to attend the fall  
CIEE program.  The V.A. coordinator is questioning the below courses,  
because the student has had third-year Russian.  However, it seems to  
me that he is likely to place into the Advanced III portion of each  
class.  Would that be more similar to a fourth-year class than a third- 
year class?

Thanks for any advice -- I think this program would greatly benefit  
the student for many reasons, but we need to have good reason why it  
would be appropriate for him.
