The Writing & Learning Studio (Room 1501) is the
place to go for free writing handouts, writing workshops
and tutorial assistance with your writing from any
class. They give helpful feedback during all steps of
the writing process--from understanding a new assignment
to polishing a final draft. It's a friendly environment
open to all students--and no appointment is necessary!
(For more information, click "The Writing & Learning
Studio" above at the top of this page. Better yet, visit
the TWLS during open hours.
This particular education track suggests that you'll
be transferring to a university for a baccalaureate
(four-year university-level) degree. There is not an
English associates degree. However, for your higher
education planning, you would do well to contact your
advisor and plan using the "Associate in Arts and
Sciences" (
) planning sheet. Then, you may also
wish to visit the websites of the institutions that you
may wish to transfer to in order to see what courses are
advised. As you plan your Distribution Requirements and
Electives, you may formulate your degree at Shoreline to
your advantage for your major. There are campus
activities that may strengthen your application to
university, and those include various extra-curricular
activities related to English such as publishing,
student club activities, public readings, and others.
Check with Shoreline's career center and other
resources to find out where the jobs are for this
particular field at this particular time.
The English Department offers a range of courses in
composition, research writing, poetry writing, short and
fiction writing. There are some Communications courses
linked to the writing of screenplays and scripts. Please
refer to the school's catalog and course schedule for
more information about these course offerings.
Shoreline Community College publishes Spindrift, a
literary and arts magazine annually. Ebbtide, a student
newspaper, appears biweekly and includes various
student-created content. In addition, there may be other
publishing efforts on campus through Student Programs
and some student clubs. Please check in the "Student
Clubs and Publications" link to the left. Do contact the
various offices and student clubs as well to find out
what projects are afoot.
You are welcome to make an appointment with the
Humanities advisor or to contact the faculty member
assigned to you as your academic advisor.
The campus has been host to various events--for
poetry performances and readings, literary showcases,
and other events.
While this school does not accept AP credit for
English, it does offer limited challenge examinations
for students who test within a particular range in the
English segment of the ASSET test. Those who take this
exam may be accepted into English 101 without taking any
prior courses.
There are also challenge exams available for both
English 101 "Composition and Expository Prose" and
English 102 "Reasoning, Research and Writing." Please
contact the English Department chair(s) for more
information.
