How do you know if you need a writing skills class, and if so, which one? 

All students are required to take the College Placement Tests in reading and writing.  If the test(s) indicate that you are not yet writing at a college level, the appropriate writing course will be recommended.  Following the test, you should speak with an advisor concerning your test results and correct course placement.

The reading and writing placement tests are administered in the Assessment Center.  For information about Center's hours of operation,  location and other testing information, you can visit the Assessment Center now by following the hyperlink.      http://www.lcc.edu/assessment
