<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Lab Component**

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Students should plan on spending at least two hours per week in the Academic Support Center (ASC), Bldg. 210 and 500, fulfilling their lab requirement. Students will <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">access their lab work in Your Writing Class via Falcon Online. Lab access directions will be available during the ASC orientation. The registration code is in the card <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">that came with the textbook if bought it at the bookstore. If students did not get a code for Your Writing Class, they can purchase one online. All lab assignments must <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> be completed by the Portfolio due date.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Portfolio **

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Students will submit a final portfolio at the end of the semester that includes all course work: all ten writing assignments, a printout of completed Your Writing Class <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> activities, and a short reflection on their experience this semester (see Portfolio handout).

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Exit Criteria**

If students do not attend class, they may receive an F for nonattendance which severely affects their financial aid.
