Face-Face Consulting in Action
Are you curious to see what a group face-to-face consulting session with a CAPI writing consultant might be like? Visit a Temecula Valley session in action (You MUST have Real Player installed to see this!  If  you do not have Real Player you will have to download it).
Reading and Writing Resources
The following resources were designed by Cal State San Marcos faculty and teaching assistants. You are welcome to use the materials in your courses. CAPI writing consultants will likely direct your students to these resources.
Website Links
These resources and links have been suggested by faculty participating in the CAPI project. Feel free to make use of these links or to suggest new links for the site.

API Data: Are you interested to know how your school performs in comparison to other schools? If so, you’ll want to visit this site.

Composition, Rhetoric, and Writing Programs on the Web: Are you interested in understanding writing programs at a range of universities—some of the very universities your students will be attending? This website designed through a grant at UCI will introduce to a range of national university writing programs.

Diagnostic Writing Service (DWS): This service is not a test! The California State University System has designed a writing service to help identify your students’ strengths and weaknesses as a writers. You are encouraged to administer DWS to your juniors and seniors. CAPI will cover the nominal cost for CAPI participating schools. Teachers please submit your request by completing this form.

English-Language Arts Content Standards: The State of California has established Standards for K-12 instruction. You might be interested to know the goals of each grade level.

Educational Testing Service (ETS): ETS is a leader in educational testing and research. You and your students may find ETS’s discussion of the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) and of the CSU English and mathematics placement tests (EPT and ELM) useful.
