Poynter online language primer
We have some updates on the online grammar drills, quizzes and assessments. Finish one section of your choice (either grammar, punctuation or word use) by Monday at 11:59 p.m., and finish a second section of your choice by Friday at 11:59 p.m. Pick the two areas where you feel the weakest. We will tackle the third section later.

However, you would be wise to practice drills for all three before you take the Manship AP/Grammar exams the week of Oct. 5-9. The drills and accompanying quizzes are the most valuable part of the course.

AP & Grammar Quiz Bowl
Join us for the AP & Grammar Quiz Bowl at 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4, in the Holliday Forum of the Journalism Building. This is a game who event where Manship Ambassadors help you compete against other sections to see who is best at facts. Bring your AP Stylebook and resources. This is a great chance to study.

Manship AP & Grammar exams
Sign up now to take these in the testing center. Here are some answers to your questions:

• You will take two exams: AP and Grammar.
• Each exam is 100 questions, multiple choice.
• You do not need a scantron or pencil. This is a computer test. You will need your LSU ID to take the test.
• If you do not sign up, you will not get a time that is convenient for you. I am limited in how much I can help you if you wait too late to register.
• Each exam covers all the items on the study sheet. The AP Exam covers all of the items on the AP Study Sheet. The Grammar Exam covers all of the items on the Grammar Study Sheet.
• You have two hours to take each exam; however, you probably will need only about an hour for each exam.
• You may take the exams back-to-back, or you may schedule them on different days.
• We will have class the week of Oct. 5, so if you schedule your exam during class time, you will miss class and whatever work we complete in class.
