  11. understanding Tutor Navigator • Students taking Eng. 95/96 or Eng. 97/98 may earn points by participating in our Tutor-Navigator program. • Tutor Navigators spend time in your class, get to know your instructor and assignments, and then organize study groups for your classes in the Student Learning Center. • Tutor Navigators can also help answer any questions you may have about your English class or other resources at NSC.

  12. Are There Any Other Requirements? • You must have accrued 100 points by the 5th week of the quarter to be eligible for a 4.0. So you must have ½ your points by the end of the 5th week. • Tutoring sessions that take place after finals week begins do not count toward Eng. 080. • 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.

  13. When Do I Meet MyEng. 080 Instructors? • You must meet with a Page One coordinator at the beginning, middle, and end of the quarter. • Beginning-of-the-quarter meetings are to make sure you understand the course requirements. • Middle-of-the-quarter meetings offer a progress report. You may meet either with a coordinator or Tutor Navigator by the end of the 5thweek. • End-of-quarter meetingsare to give you your grade! • (You earn points for each of these meetings!)

  14. Where Do I get Started? • Once we have created an English 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 may begin by clocking-in on the Time Keeper and picking- up your English 080 folder.

  15. What is a 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 clock-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. Just ask!

  16. What Is The Purpose of the English 080 Activity Log? • The purpose of the Activity Log is to measure your work, hours, and progress. • Ultimately, it is your responsibilityto make sure every conference with a writing tutor is documented on the English 080 Activity Log. • The Activity Log will be the heaviest factor in determining your grade.

  17. To summarize: How to earn a 4.0 • To get a 4.0 in English 080, you must: Earn 200 points by performing a combination of our many Page One Student Success Activity options—plus working with a tutor! Do you have questions? Please ask a coordinator or tutor. We are here to help you!
