ENGL 1100 and ENGL 1200 Workshops

Click here to view workshops

The First-Year Writing Studio provides support for ENGL 1100 and ENGL 1200 through a series of workshops on various aspects of the writing process. Workshops are "mini-lessons" which consultants present to individual students, groups of students, or to an entire class section if requested by the instructor.

Workshops commonly requested by ENGL 1100 instructors include those which focus on helping students understand the writing process, while ENGL 1200 instructors typically request workshops that are designed to help students learn the skills involved in research writing. Each workshop provides a discussion of specific writing principle(s) as well as exercises which help reinforce the concept(s) covered.

For each workshop, we have included in our web page two options 1) a document in Microsoft Word format for students and instructors who would like to print a hard copy and 2) a Powerpoint version for instructors and consultants who wish to guide students through the workshop while students follow along on lab computers.

Studio Guidlines for Workshops
Due to the awesome cost of photocopying our workshops for use in the classroom, consultants conduct workshop sessions in one of the department's computer labs where students can access the materials via the web, follow along on screen, complete the practice exercises using Microsoft Word, and save a copy on disk or print a copy of the materials if desired. When you request a workshop using the on-line form or by calling or e-mailing the studio, either the administrative assistant or your consultant will e-mail to confirm the appointment as well as inform you of the room where your workshop is scheduled to be delivered. After the workshop, don't forget to fill out our feedback survey.
