Take me to the Fall Term '99 Time Schedule for English Composition Board.
All students entering the University should fulfill the First-Year Writing Requirement during their first year. They may do so by taking Practicum and another first-year writing course, or by taking a first-year writing course alone. After meeting with an advisor or a Writing Workshop instructor, students decide which of these alternatives is better for them on the basis of a self-assessment.
Practicum is the best placement for you if:
Prerequisites & Distribution: ECB Assessment. (2). (Excl). Offered mandatory credit/no credit. (TUTORIAL). May be elected for a total of four credits for any combination of ECB 100-105.
Credits: (2).

Writing Practicum is for all students receiving a practicum placement on their writing assessment or for students who choose the course as preparation for college writing. This is not a remedial course but is designed to support students with limited experience writing the sorts of pieces most often assigned and valued at the University. Practicum offers opportunities for students to improve how they organize, develop, and support ideas, analyze complex material, and deploy evidence in an argument. At the end of the course, students put together a portfolio which is read by a team of Practicum instructors. Their written response acknowledges the student's level of achievement and readiness for first-year writing. Practicum is not graded but does earn 2 course credits. Class enrollment is limited to eighteen students. Classes meet two hours per week and each student receives an additional half-hour of individual instruction every other week during conferences with their instructor. This concentrated individual attention has proven crucial to the success of students with limited writing experience.

This seminar prepares students to join the Peer Tutoring Program where they serve as consultants to other undergraduates who need help with their writing. After completing ECB 300, students go on to take ECB 301 in the next term where they are given course credit for serving as writing tutors. As part of their training, seminar students discuss readings in the theory of composition, learn about writing in the different disciplines, examine the strengths and weaknesses in their own writing, and begin, under supervision, to practice tutoring. Course work includes three papers as well as brief reports on the tutoring experience. Registration by override only. Contact the Sweetland Writing Center.
