What is supplemental instruction with the Write Site?

In addition going to class, you will attend small-group workshops in the Write Site. The workshops happen once per major assignment, for a total of three hour-long appointments in a semester.

Attendance is mandatory.

Harry and Stephanie work exclusively with the students in the English 1013.SI classes.

They’re awesome!

Use the “Previous Week” and “Next Week” buttons or the calendar to navigate to the day that works best for you.

Click on the white box that corresponds with the time of your Write Site visit.

If a box is blue, it means that time slot is already full.
