FOI: A Little Quiz about ISU

[A one-point Engagement Item]

Milner Library

Just to get acquainted with the library a bit, physically visit the library and wander around in there.

1. Where is the Media Resource Center in the library?  What do they have there?
    
2. How can you find the call number for a book while you are in the library?

Places to find

1. Suppose you want to talk with someone about a dispute over AP (Advanced Placement) credit. What office handles this?
   
2. The University has an art gallery that displays both traveling exhibits and student/faculty work. Where is it located?  (Don't just give the room number; describe where this place is, relative to the quad.)
    
   

3. Suppose you want to find out some details regarding the various Study Abroad programs offered by the University. What office would you go to?  Where is it?
   

4. You think you have strep. What is the place called on campus where the University provides medical assistance for students?  Where is it located relative to the Bone Student Center?
   

5. You want to buy a new computer monitor.  There is an on-campus computer store where you can get a “deal”.  What the name of the store?  Where is it located?
   

6. You suddenly get very sick in the middle of the night, and need some serious medical attention.  What's the closest hospital emergency room?  Where is it located?

Mini research projects

(Stuff you should know about.  You can get all the answers from materials the University has made available to you.)  

1. You have a real emergency at home that suddenly pulls you away from campus for several days; so you will miss your classes. (This is what we call a “non-medical emergency”.) It would be best to contact each of your instructors personally (perhaps by e-mail) but let’s say that is impractical – maybe there’s not time. What University office should you contact so that your instructors will find out that you haven’t just decided to blow off their classes?
    

2. You don't have a car to get around town to go shopping in the evening.  So you can take the city bus.  How much does it cost?  How can you find out about routes?
    

3. What is the last day this semester that a student can routinely add a regular course to their class schedule?
   

4. What is the last day this semester that student can drop a course from their class schedule and routinely receive a WX grade for that course?
   

5. What happens, though, if you drop FOI?
   

6. For which day and at what time is the final examination for our class scheduled?
   

7. What is a university provost?  Who or what is the provost at ISU?
   

Opinion question

Your math instructor is a regular faculty member (not a graduate student assistant) named Margaret Graftin.  You want to call him by name.  What way of addressing her is most likely to make a good impression?
