What we offer

We offer fifteen courses, all transferable, in the Writing Program: WRIT 121 and WRIT 122 (and their Honors versions), Business Writing, Tech Writing, Journalism, and Advanced Writing.  While most of our enrollment falls at the Freshman level, we have one of the finest advanced writing programs in a community college, offering courses in advanced Journalism, Design and Layout, Creative Writing I and II, Writing for Publication, Writing the Novel, Seminar in Prose Style, and Forum for Authors and we currently offer an Associate Degree in Writing.

Modes of Delivery

We also offer several modes of delivery of our classes.  We teach face-to-face, hybrids, and on-line.  We teach from 8:00 am - 10:00 pm Monday - Thursday and 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Fridays and Saturdays, both on campus and at off-campus Learning Centers.

Assessment

We have led the campus in External Assessment, with fully-developed assessment programs, based on portfolios, in first-year Composition, Business and Tech Writing.

For each of the Writing courses, there is a standard syllabus containing information on textbooks, course requirements, grading systems, a course outline, and Department policies on attendance, incompletes, and withdrawals.
