Supplemental Instruction Requirement

The five hour supplemental instruction requirement for English 550, 450, and 1A can be satisfied by completing Directed Learning Activities, workshops, and study groups.


Tutoring on assigned papers does not count toward supplemental instruction. You may complete the five hours of supplemental instruction at the Writing Center on the Rancho Campus and the Success Centers in Fontana and Chino.

Directed Learning Activities

One way to satisfy the five hour supplemental instruction requirement for English 550, 450, and 1A is to complete Directed Learning Activities. These activities consist of an independent portion that takes approximately 30-45 minutes to finish and a follow-up session with a tutor that lasts approximately 15-30 minutes depending on the activity.


The independent portion of a Directed Learning Activity can be done in the Writing Center without an appointment. However, an appointment must be set for the follow-up session with the tutor.

The Writing Center offers the following Directed Learning Activities.

You will need to bring in a paragraph or essay that has been commented on by your instructor to complete the Directed Learning Activities below:

 

Workshops

Another way to satisfy the five hour supplemental instruction requirement for English 550, 450, and 1A is to attend a Writing Center workshop. Workshops are 50 to 60 minute small group sessions that are taught by faculty tutors and cover a range of topics from prewriting activities to research papers.

Workshops are limited to ten participants and tend to fill up quickly. You can set an appointment for a workshop up to six business days in advance.

Go to the Calendar for this semester's workshop schedules.

Study Groups

Yet another way to satisfy the five hour supplemental instruction requirement for English 550, 450, and 1A is to attend a study group.

Study groups are 50 to 60 minute instructor designed sessions that focus on a particular writing skill or assignment. Instructors may arrange study group sessions by contacting the Writing Center. Check with your instructor to find out if a study group has been scheduled for your class.
