LAC Offers Workshops as SCC Faculty and Students
Embrace Writing Across the Curriculum Project
The Learning Assistance Center is offering workshops designed to enhance students’ ability to think critically, write effectively, and successfully research, organize, cite, and present formal papers and projects.

Each workshop is offered as a “brief version,” lasting from thirty to fifty minutes, or as an “extended version,” including interactive exercises and lasting from fifty minutes to two hours. Even longer versions are available, such as when Librarian Dianne Lindgren focuses on library resources and search strategies. Brief versions also can be combined into an extended version; many of the workshops work well together. For example, gathering/ organizing materials and evaluating sources go hand in hand. » details
