INTD 080 - Summer Transitional Writing Workshop

This is a 21 hour, writing-focused course designed to help prepare international students who are enrolling as regular WC students to meet the expectations instructors will have for their writing. Students will review a variety of common academic genres, and assignments will emphasize writing with and documenting sources. Peer mentors will help support students’ mastery of the basic conventions of written English. In addition to participating in the writing course, enrolled students will be required to complete 14 hours of Academic Workshops. The workshops will support the students’ transition into Whittier College by promoting the student engagement in and outside of the classroom. Students will learn how to connect to college resources, such as faculty and campus support offices, improve time management and study skills, and develop self-advocacy strategies.
