Beginning-of-the-quarter meetings are to make sure you understand the course requirements.

End-of-quarter meetings are to give you your grade!
(You earn points for each of these meetings!)
WHERE DO I GET STARTED? Once we have created
an English 080 Activity Log and folder for you, we will store these at the English 080 station in Page One.
Every time you come in, you may begin by clocking-in on the Time Keeper and picking- up your English 080 folder.
WHAT IS A TIME KEEPER?
The Time Keeper keeps track of the time you spend in the Page One Writing Center – so it is important to clock-in and clock-out because this is an additional way we can record your Student Success Activities.
Our friendly greeters will help you create an account on the Time Keeper. Just ask!
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE ENGLISH 080 ACTIVITY LOG? The purpose of the
Activity Log is to measure your work, hours, and progress.
Ultimately, it is your responsibility to make sure every conference with a writing tutor is documented on the English 080 Activity Log.
The Activity Log will be the heaviest factor in determining your grade.
