Basic Skills English Laboratory
What is the Basic Skills English Laboratory?
The Basic Skills English Laboratory serves students in English 088 and English 095. We work in small groups with a tutor to make you a competent writer. We have a number of writing activities to improve your fluency and special techniques to help you find and fix your own errors.
We also spend almost half the sessions preparing you for your ENG 088 finals or your ACT Writing Test. The laboratory also provides the required 20 hours of tutoring for those students who needs to re-take the ACT.
Only students who had taken ENG 095 twice are allowed to take the 20 hour ACT Tutoring program Instead of taking ENG 095 a third time. Students who have taken ENG 095 once and did not pass the ACT must retake ENG 095 and cannot substitute the ACT tutoring for the ENG 095 class Also if you are allowed to take the 20 hour ACT Tutoring program, it is best to register at the beginning of the semester to insure that you get the full 20 hour requirement.
