  Writing 101 Exit Assessment

 All instructors teaching Writing 101 at Highline must use the Writing 101 portfolio as a classroom assessment tool.  Please see the following links for an explanation of the Writing 101 portfolio process.  Because all instructors must participate in a two-hour Consensus Building Session during finals week, you'll need to cancel two hours of class time at some point in the quarter in order to compensate yourself.  These two hours do not have to be at the end of the quarter.
