The Writing Portfolio requires students to select the best written work they have completed in demonstration of Level II and III competencies. In addition, it asks for a reflective essay in which students will both assess the products in their portfolio and reflect on the development of their writing/communication skills throughout the course of their college careers. To help students develop the products they need for the Portfolio and to prepare these products for submission and evaluation, there are two kinds of workshops- Writing Across the Curriculum and Portfolio Preparation. Students are encouraged to take advantage of these FREE workshops to get the support they need to complete the Writing / Communication Portfolio.  Students do not need to register for workshops.  Attend the first session to get on the class list.

Tuesday 5:30-6:45 Hayden, Room W-3-154-03

This workshop is intended for students whose computer experience is minimal and who need the time and practice to get up to speed on basic computer skills as a foundation for working at Level II.  The workshop will address computer skills such as: using an operating system, word-processing, e-mail communication, information retrieval, and an introduction to spread sheets.  This workshop will help prepare students to take the Level II Computer Skills workshop and complete the computer competency in another semester.  Because there is no competency linked to this workshop,  you DO NOT need to pre-register and there is no cost to attending the workshop.

*Note: The Green Lab is not available Monday, September 12th - Please go to the Purple Lab H-UL-042
This semester-long workshop will contain modules that help students address the different components of the Level II computer competency.  The modules will also provide support for developing the technology skills that you need when  working on other competencies such as: Community Portraits, Quantitative Reasoning and  Economic Distribution.  Students who take these workshops are expected to have familiarity and solid basic skills in word processing, operating systems, and electronic communication (i.e., e-mail).  Students who successfully complete this workshop will demonstrate the Level II Computer/Technology Skills competency.  To register for the workshop, select Portfolio Level II on your learning plan and register for the section linked to this course.

The Quantitative Reasoning workshops are designed to provide assistance to students who might need extra support developing and applying their quantitative reasoning skills as they work on other competencies like Understanding Arguments, Quantitative Reasoning, Community Portraits, Economic Distribution, etc.

These are not QR classes. The workshops will be operate more like tutorials, where students can receive assistance reviewing material they may need help understanding and/or completing assignments that require quantitative reasoning skills.

Students do not need to register for the workshops. The workshops will meet regularly during the scheduled time, but students will only attend those sessions that they need to work on their specific questions or issues.
