 You do not earn points for just typing your paper for class or doing homework. You only get credit for doing one of the activities listed on the activity chart.

You must check-in with a Page One coordinator at the beginning and end of the quarter.
Beginning of the quarter meetings are to make sure you understand the course requirements.
End of quarter meetings are to give you your grade.
We also ask that you meet either with a coordinator or Tutor
Navigator at the middle of the quarter or 5 th week to check on your progress.

 Once we have created a Eng.
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 will begin by picking up your folder here and clocking in on the 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 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.

 To track your work, hours, and progress
 Ultimately it is your
responsibility to make sure every conference with a writing tutor is documented on the Eng. 080
Activity Log.
 The Activity Log will be the heaviest factor in determining your grade.
