Welcome to “CHARLIE” -- Chabot’s on-line Resource with Links to Instruction in English. CHARLIE is an on-line writing resource targeted directly to the needs of Chabot students. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from on-campus and off, CHARLIE offers excellent writing models in the form of sample student essays with commentary from Chabot instructors; clear definitions of common types of academic writing (i.e. summary, critique, analysis); useful handouts that you can print out or view on-line; and a great menu of links to instructor-approved on-line resources on reading, writing, research and documentation.
Although CHARLIE is no substitute for direct English instruction, the site can provide valuable assistance for those who have not yet taken English at Chabot, cannot make office hours, see tutors, or utilize a 115 class, or just want some extra help with reading and writing for any class from Early Childhood Development to Astronomy. Browse through and let us know what you think!
