College Library Prototype Tutorial Program to Prepare Adults for CLEP Examinations.
Gottlober, Helen R.
Immaculate Heart College has been awarded a grant by the Office of Education to act as a center and coordinating agent for a prototype tutorial program to prepare adults for CLEP Examinations. The objective is to reach adults within the Los Angeles community who posses the potential for a college degree but who are either unaware of the alternatives for entering college, or afraid of failing as college students. An experimental adult education program launched in 1975 by the college clearly indicated an untapped adult potential in the area, large numbers unaware of CLEP, fearful of taking tests, and of the academic world itself, and uneasy about study habits. The program utilized the resources of the library, individual faculty consultants and student tutors, and combined academic preparation with a focus on the means of alleviating such fears.
