Workshop for 603-101-MQ: Introduction to College English
This semester, the English Department is again offering a special workshop for students taking the course 603-101-MQ: Introduction to College English. The purpose of this workshop is to focus on grammar and writing skills more exclusively than in the students' regular English course, where a great deal of time is devoted to literature. The teacher will present the essential elements of English grammar in a very structured way, and he will help students individually with their written assignments for any of their courses at St. Lawrence. Students who enroll in this workshop will be required to attend one 100-minute class every week on either Tuesday or Thursday, from 12:10 to 13:50, until the end of the semester. Students interested in signing up for this workshop should come and see John Whitt in his office (334), email him (jwhitt@slc.qc.ca), or send him a MIO message as soon as possible (by Mon., Sept. 8 at the latest). The workshop will start the week of September 8-12.

WHAT IS THE "MY SLC WEBFOLIO"?
The Webfolio is a tool available to all St. Lawrence students to help you think about your future goals and where you are headed. It was developed by l'Université Laval's job placement center (SPLA) to help future job seekers put forth their strengths, abilities, experience, and goals when meeting employers.
Even though many CEGEP students pursue studies after they graduate, completing certain parts of the portfolio proves useful when you want to accurately describe your skills, interests, values, and goals. It can help you figure out sooner what you would actually like to do and what you might need to reach your goals.
As a CEGEP student, to get the most out of this tool if you are planning further studies before entering the job market, complete the exercises that are designed to help you get to know yourself better. Other interesting feature: Students have access to REPÈRES (online database on educational programs and careers). You have to go in the section "Understanding the Job Market" and then click on "employment titles" in the left-hand menu. You will then see a link for REPÈRES.  If you need help using this tool or simply want to discuss your profile, you can speak with Nicole Anne Daigle, Guidance Counsellor. You can also read this guide that explains how to use the Webfolio at the collegial level.
