Writing Workshops, Advisors and Tutors


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 three kinds of workshops- How to Write and Essay, How to Revise and Essay, and Portfolio Preparation. Students are encouraged to take advantage of these FREE workshops to get the support they need to complete the Writing Portfolio. Students do not need to register for workshops. Attend the first session to get on the list.


How to Write an Essay Workshop   Canceled

CORCTR 180-1 Thur 5:30-7:00 TBA Schwartz
CORCTR 180-3 Thur 11:30-12:45 M-2-624 Schwartz

Cycle 1 begins: September 12/14

Cycle 2 begins: October 24/26

How to Write an Essay is a workshop designed to help students who are beginning their writing journey here at the College. Intended to support beginning writers to generate sound essays, this workshop will be offered using a combined writing instruction and writing workshop model. Students will gather to share their writing questions and issues, brainstorm solutions, "workshop" actual writing assignments, and engage in a facilitated discussion about the elements and practice of producing strong essays. We'll discuss topics such as: how to begin the writing process, how to write a solid introduction with a specific thesis statement, how to organize ideas in the body of the essay, and how to end the essay with a solid conclusion. Students will be expected to participate in each of the seven workshops that make up the cycle.

How to Revise an Essay Workshop    Canceled

CORCTR 280-1 Wed 11:30-12:45 W-1-055 Ybarra
CORCTR 280-2 Mon 11:30-12:45 M-1-619 Ybarra
CORCTR 280-4 Wed 5:30-6:45 W-1-0006 Ybarra
CORCTR 280-5 Mon 5:30-6:45 W-4-122 Ybarra

These workshops will begin the week of September 11th.

How to Revise an Essay workshops are designed for students who are working at Levels II and higher in the curriculum. They are designed to help you develop papers that you are working on in demonstration of other competencies, and to help you prepare products that will ultimately be suitable for the Writing Portfolio. Students who attend the workshops should bring papers that they are currently preparing or papers that they have received back from faculty that require revision. The focus of the class sessions will be to help you strengthen your writing in terms of critical thinking, organization, style, appropriate citation, and revision. Throughout the process, you will also work on development of ideas and on editing your own paper.


Portfolio Preparation Workshops

CORCTR 380 Tues 11:30-12:45 W-3-154-03 Rubin   CANCELED

Cycle 1 begins: week of September 11
Cycle 2 begins: week of October 10

The Portfolio Preparation Workshop is for students who are ready or near ready to submit their Writing Portfolios. The workshop instructor will review the portfolio submission process and portfolio checklist, and will offer guidance in writing the reflective cover letter that accompanies the portfolio. Additionally, the writing instructor can help students select their best products for inclusion in the portfolio. If students need help with writing or revising essays, they should attend one of the essay writing workshops, rather than the Portfolio Preparation Workshop. The Portfolio Preparation Workshop will run in 4-week cycles, with the understanding that students will attend one cycle. If you plan to submit your Writing Portfolio this semester, you should select Portfolio Level III on your learning plan and register for Section 1.



Portfolio Advisors:

The faculty who are on the Portfolio Evaluation team and the faculty who teach writing support workshops are happy to meet with you to advise you in preparation for submitting your portfolios. They can help you assess whether you're ready to submit the portfolio and help you get the portfolio together.

Peer Advisor/Tutors:

Students who wish to, or are advised to, work one-on-one with a tutor on developing writing skills or writing products should sign up to work with a Peer Advisor / Tutor (PAT).

*   Answering basic advising questions

*   Explaining guidelines and procedures for the Writing / Communication Portfolios

*   Helping you clarify and understand homework assignments

*   Helping you prepare outlines for assignments, organizing and structuring papers

*   Conducting searches for research materials, selecting, incorporating, and documenting sources

Do you need help assessing what kind of computer / technology support activities make sense for you? All students who have not completed the computer / technology requirements should complete a Computer / Technology Skills Self-Assessment (available in the Office of Student Services). Your self-assessment will be reviewed by the computer faculty at the College and you will receive a recommendation about what level of support makes sense for you to consider in working toward this competency.
