AT UCSC
Writing 22A offers instruction on selected topics in grammar and conventions of written English as needed to strengthen the writing skills of students whose primary language is not standard English. The course provides students practice in applying these concepts to editing their own writing. Designed for entering first-year students, enrollment limited to 22. Instructors are D. Scripture (College Eight faculty), and N. Krusoe. You can check the Schedule of Classes, but since there's many people adding and dropping, it may not be reliable. You can go to any section; if there's not room, they can tell you if another section has any. These fill up quickly, so don't delay.
Tutoring Free tutoring (if funding permits) is offered by the Academic Resource Center just over the hill from College 8.
