Our pledge education course is 10 weeks, and each week, Pledges are asked to read about 10 pages of the pledge manual. I hand out 1-2 worksheets that highlight the main points in the pledge manual, and on those worksheets are 10 questions that can be answered in 1-2 sentences IF THEY READ( as college students usually don't do). We go over the worksheets in the next class. If a pledge completes the worksheets, they will have no problem with the tests, due to the fact that I use the same questions from the worksheets on the test.
On each test, there is one extra credit question worth anywhere from 12 to 24 points.
Those questions ask pledges to write out the Scout Oath, Scout Law, one verse of the Toast Song, name all the chapters in Section 55, write a short biography of The Chief, etc. The points correspond to the difficulty of what the question asks.
Since those are extra credit, they aren't all or nothing type questions; whatever you write correctly is the number of points you get.
The sheets will also be available to the actives; and don't worry; I don't test on difficult or esoteric things that even actives can't be expected to know.
Knowing that, do you feel that is comparable to a regular course, lighter, or heavier?

Don't feel bad. Not only don't they let me participate in APO Trivia contests, they've gotten wary of me running them as well. 
Sounds *quite* reasonable. Though if you actually test the pledges on any of the three pages in the Graphical Standards Guide (37-39), I will track you down and...

LOL!
Glad you think that is reasonable, and NO WAY will I test on the graphics standards!
I could, however, make that a punishment...... *cue evil laugh*

Sent an email, left a voicemail, no luck.
I will make a quick trip to UDM as soon as the semester is underway to see what we can get worked out.
I will most definitely keep everyone up to date, you all have been so much help!

See if your section chair has information on when meetings are held. Also try contacting the Chair of the Advisory Committee.
