Writing Center Requirements

To receive credit for your Writing Lab you will need to meet the following requirements: Credit is based on attendance, conferences, and online work.

English 30 and 35 Writing Workshop Requirements:

  1. Conferences: Complete 5 conference signatures with your Writing Center lab instructor.
  2. Attendance: You must attend your regularly scheduled lab every week.
  3. Online Work: 14 Mastered Lessons.

English 101 and 201 Lab Requirements

  1. Conferences: Complete 4 conference signatures with your Writing Center lab instructor.
  2. Attendance: You must attend your regularly scheduled lab every week.
  3. Online Work: Complete and master assignments in CompClass. Check with your English instructors for details.

IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CREDIT, ALL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE COMPLETED

1.  Conferences:

What’s the point of a conference?
Conferences with an English instructor give you the opportunity to work one-on-one with a writing professional who can help you generate and organize your ideas and present them clearly to your intended audience.

How can I get the most from a conference?
Bring to the instructor a piece of writing that you intend to revise and really want help with. (Journals are valuable writing aids but they do not generally get revised). Tell the instructor what the assignment is and your purpose in writing it. Tell the instructor what you need help with. Ask plenty of questions.

What I won’t get in a conference.
You won’t get a lot of help, period, if you are not an active participant. You won’t get your spelling corrected (use spell-check on the computer), or all of your grammatical problems fixed. The instructor is there to help you focus on 1 or 2 main ideas.

How do I get a conference?
Put your name in the conference book located in the instructors’ table at the front of the lab. The nstructor(s) will call the names in the order they appear. If you are not present when your name is called your name will be crossed off and you will have to put your name down again. Please note that the sign up sheet does not carry over to the next day. If you are not called on the day you that you sign up for a conference, you must sign in again the next time you are in the Workshop.

2. Attendance in the Writing Center:

  • Students are to attend the Writing Center the first week of the semester during their registered
    day and time and will continue doing so throughout the semester.
  • Log in each time you enter the Writing Center. Log out each time you leave the Writing Center.

3. Online work:

  • English 30 and 35 students are required to purchase a handbook, English Simplified by Blanche Ellsworth and John A. Higgins, published by Pearson. With the purchase of this handbook, Pearson will provide a Writing Workshop Activity Log and an Access code to register to MyWritingLab during the second week of the semester.
  • English 101 and 201 students are required to purchase a handbook, Rules for Writers by Diana Hacker, published by Bedford/ St. Martins. English 101 and 201 students are required to register the access code to compclass.com the second week of the semester.

4. Activities:

  • Only writing activities are appropriate during the Workshop hours. You should be working on your homework from your English composition class. Other assignments such as math, are not allowed to be worked on while you are in the Writing Center.
  • Fill in your Writing Workshop Folder every time you attend the Workshop. Record the date, time, total number of hours, and your activities for that day.
