Trying a ping here, I think the May cohort was the last one not doing it, anyone in the current cohorts?

The syllabus for LIB-495 has been updated here: https://www2.tesu.edu/syllabus/current/LIB-495/syllabus_LIB-495.html
"Depending on your major, you must complete either a Major Field Test or a Written Communication Assessment. Major Field Tests are offered for select majors to evaluate knowledge of material in that major. If you are taking a Major Field Test, you must submit a PDF of your score report in order to receive credit for the course. If your major does not have a Major Field Test, you will instead complete a Written Communication Assessment that will measure specific college-level writing skills. You do not need to study to prepare for these assessments, but they carry weight in the course and must be completed."
The Written Communication Assessment is a 400-800 word long letter based on a single prompt from a predetermined list of writing prompts that will be graded on how well you:
- Adhere to the context and purpose of your letter
- Tailor your letter to its audience (the recipient/s)
- Develop your ideas and convey meaning
- Use the appropriate level of formality
- Use letter-writing conventions
- Organize the content of your letter
- Use clear language that is free of errors (in grammar, usage, punctuation, and spelling)

It's ungraded but assigned a percentage of grade value for course completion.
