WPE Workshops and Tutoring
Writing Proficiency workshops give you an opportunity to join a discussion of the grading criteria, the readings, and the development of successful strategies for responding to timed-essay exam, or portfolio, questions.
Discussion groups (informal round-table discussions of the reading sets) will be held in the last two weeks of May. Details of the discussion group schedule will be sent by email to everyone who is registered to do the WPE.
The next round of workshops will take place prior to the June 2013 WPE timed-essay exams and portfolio due date. The workshops will be video-recorded and made available to everyone who is registered to do the WPE.
