The
Hebrew
credit by exam tests are optional tests, and are taken by students who want to
receive credit for Hebrew that they have studied elsewhere. These tests
are not exams to determine placement in on-going Judaic Studies Hebrew
courses.
For help in
determining placement in the Hebrew
Program, contact Judaic Studies at (520) 626-5758 or by email at jus
@u.arizona.edu
Students
enrolled at The University of Arizona may test to receive Hebrew credit
through the Credit by Exam process. Students can receive credit for
up to four semesters for Modern Hebrew which includes the following
classes: JUS 103A (Elementary Modern Hebrew,
1st semester), JUS 103B (Elementary Modern Hebrew, 2nd
semester), JUS 203A (Intermediate Modern Hebrew, 1st semester)
and/or JUS 203B (Intermediate Modern Hebrew, 2nd
semester).
Each semester of Modern Hebrew is the equivalent of 5 lower
division credits.
Native
speakers of Hebrew may not receive Hebrew Credit
by Exam credit. A native speaker
is defined as one who has completed her/his education through secondary
school in Israel. A student who attended grade school (through
eighth grade) in Israel, and who then moved out of Israel, is not considered a native speaker. A student
educated outside of Israel
whose parents speak Hebrew, and in whose home
Hebrew is the primary spoken language, is not considered a native speaker.
The credit
earned through Credit by Exam
testing may not duplicate units already presented for admission to the
University. In order to
receive Credit by Exam for any semester of 1st or 2nd
year Modern Hebrew, a student enrolled in a higher level of Modern Hebrew
must complete the lower level exam before the end of the 7th
week of the higher level course. For
example, to receive Credit by
Exam credit
for 1st year Modern Hebrew (JUS 103A and 103B), a student
enrolled in 2nd year Modern Hebrew (JUS
203A) must complete
both 1st year exams before the end of the 7th week
of JUS 203A.
The
responsibility for preparatory study for these examinations rests entirely
with the student. Faculty
members are under no obligation to assist with such preparation. However,
occasionally Judaic Studies does offer tutoring
free of charge.
Exams may be
taken for credit only or for credit
& grade (with a letter
grade A, B, C, D).

administered through the Testing
Office,
(Old Main
