TESU LIB-495 Liberal Arts Capstone Course

[Merlin]

What is the ETS proficiency profile? Could you share some details? How much does it cost?

It has nothing to do with the course and is just for the university's self evaluation purposes. I find it outrageous that they dock your grade if you don't take it. I admit I got angry at having to take it, and put minimal effort into it, just checking an answer if it was immediately obvious, and totally guessing if it wasn't. All I cared about was not having them dock points and spending the minimum time.

I saw it as a free 5% towards my grade (5% less I have to worry about for a good grade) not as docking my grade for not taking it. It's mandatory either way, so I'm not sure why it would make someone angry. They could have just made it required without giving you anything for doing it (like they do in the GS version), but I assume the point in making it worth a small part of your grade is to encourage people to take it seriously rather than just rush through it and pick random stuff.
