Writing Workshops: Writing Across the Curriculum and Portfolio Preparation Workshops


The Writing Across the Curriculum Workshops are open to students working at any level of the curriculum. They are designed to help you develop your written products to both help you get the competency you're working on and make sure it meets the Portfolio standards. These workshops run for the full semester. You may bring papers that you are working on in other classes and get focused support for the writing. You do not need to register for these workshops. You should attend the first session to get on the class list.

Writing Across the Curriculum Workshops
Section 1 Monday 11:30-12:45 W-1-051 Ybarra
Section 2 Thursday 11:30-12:45 W-1-051 Onorato
Section 3 Monday 5:30-6:45 W-4-141 Ybarra
Section 4 Wednesday 5:30-6:45 W-1-051 Ybarra

 

When you think you have products ready or near-ready for Portfolio evaluation, your should attend a Portfolio Preparation Workshop. The workshop instructor can review your products, help you pick the best ones for submission, and assist you in getting them ready for submission. You will also receive guidance about preparing the Portfolio Cover letter that you are required to submit with your other products. These workshops will run in 4-week cycles, starting the first week of the semester. You don't have to register to attend. When you are ready, just go!

Applied Technology Self-Assessment                                         
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.


Computer Technology Evaluation
Students with strong computer / technology skills may be advised to work directly with one of the computer faculty to complete the competency through a direct evaluation process. Students who are advised to do this may sign up during the semester with one of the computer faculty to complete the evaluation. Students will be advised at a first meeting about what to expect and can then schedule subsequent sessions to complete the competency. Faculty sign up sheets will be posted outside the Taylor Center W-3.
