Students who are presently enrolled in WSC 002 or WSC 2A will take the exam at the end of the semester in class.  Register for these dates through the Hofstra portal just as you would any other class.

FYI: The exam is administered via Blackboard and Turnitin.  At the exam, the students are asked to compose one clear, concise essay based on the two essays we provide which are based on a common topic. The exam lasts two hours, but extra time is available if the student registers with SAS at least one week in advance. 

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

This semester, we will offer two-hour WPE workshops that correspond with each exam date, as well as two one-credit writing workshops (WSC 1T and WSC 2A) where students can learn strategies for crafting effective sentences and paragraphs.
