Workshops for First-Year Composition Students

Real-time 30-Minute Workshops (via Zoom)

We offer several real-time 30-minute Zoom Workshops that correspond closely with the writing assigned in first-year composition courses.

Recordings of the workshops will be posted on this page a few days later for those unable to attend the ‘live’ presentation.

“Quick Fix” Drop-In Sessions (via Zoom)

We offer several times during the semester when you can simply drop in via Zoom with a quick question about something you’re working on.
