English 1000 Pilot Project
During the Fall 2022 Grenfell Campus will be offering 2 sections of English 1000, section 062 & 066 as part of the learning community pilot project. The aim of this project is to help students improve their writing skills through workshops, peer supports, and other activities that will enrich their university experience and help them be successful.
Learning Communities have been implemented in many universities to help students develop better study skills, increase their chances of academic success, and to create friendships with like-minded peers. Over the years, students have indicated to us their concern with writing at the university level, and these learning communities will give those students the opportunity to build writing skills that will be transferrable to all university disciplines. These sections of English 1000 will be supplemented with optional writing skills workshops. Students in these sections will also be invited to a number of other skills-building sessions and social activities that promote academic growth and peer interaction. The aim is to increase the writing and academic skills of this group of students while providing them with the opportunity to build lasting friendships.
