Workshop Descriptions

Getting Started

This workshop gives an overview of “Prewriting”—the steps successful writers often take before they

start writing a paper.

Introductions and Conclusions

Many writers feel stuck when trying to write the first or last paragraph of an essay. This workshop

will provide examples and strategies for starting or finishing a paper as well as practice with writing

an introduction and conclusion.

Organizing Your Paper

In academic writing, organization refers to the way paragraphs are arranged in an essay, and sometimes, the way sentences are arranged in a paragraph. Effective organization allows a reader to understand a writer’s message and flow clearly from one point to another. This workshop will help students learn how to organize an essay and practice using transitions to move from paragraph to paragraph.

Writing a Research Paper

Many college classes require students to write research papers, and this workshop covers many

aspects of this (sometimes daunting) task. During this workshop, students will get tips for managing

their research process and will practice searching for print and online sources through the SCC

library. This workshop also covers how to evaluate the trustworthiness and credibility of information

found on the internet.

Structure of an Essay (*ENGWR 51)

This workshop provides a basic brush-up on how to structure an academic essay. Students will get an

in-depth overview of an essay’s introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion and learn about the

purpose and common features of each paragraph. They will also learn how this structure relates to

the grading standards for ENGWR 51 at SCC.

Comma Rules

This workshop covers common rules for how to use commas properly in a sentence. Students will

also get some hands-on practice with using this tricky piece of punctuation during this workshop.

Timed Writing

Many courses at SCC require timed writing, which can feel overwhelming or nerve-racking—even

for experienced writers! This workshop helps students learn strategies to manage their time

effectively, understand written assignments more clearly, and structure an essay with a purpose so

they can finish a timed essay confidently and on time.
