American Literature Students:
Remember to bring your Gatsby novels tonight. We are wrapping it up, discussing your essays, and spending some workshop time in the lab on writing/editing.

Affect/Effect

4/15/2021

 
One of the most common (and easily avoidable) word choice errors that I see while grading my students' essays is the confusion of "affect" with "effect."

Here is a short lesson (from Grammar Girl) on how to determine which word is appropriate for your intended meaning.

Good News!

1/13/2021

 
Because of demand, GED® Test Preparation classes (on Tuesdays and Thursdays) have been extended to three hours in length rather than just two.  We'll be able to cover much more material each week.

If you're a current GED® Test-Prep student and are able to stay for that extra hour, please plan for it now. 

See you on Tuesday in Room 120!
