The second essay will be posted on Blackboard at the time of the exam.  

The students can visit our website for details on this exam:  http://www.hofstra.edu/academics/colleges/hclas/writing/wrtctr/wrtctr-proficiency-exam.html.

If your students would like help with their writing before the exam, please have them schedule an appointment with a tutor in the Writing Center online at  www.hofstra.edu/writingcenter.
