This article describes the development and iterations of the English 0111 Composition Workshop-the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). The TSI is a program that determines college-readiness standards in reading, writing, and math. The initial structure of English 0111 was similar to the structure used in the adjunct workshop at California State University, Chico. The bi-weekly format provided time for students to seek help on issues related to the first-semester college-level writing course (FYC) and for instructors to address those issues (Rodby & Fox, 2000). Registration into FYC used a mixed-ability approach, where students in each section of the workshop came from different sections of FYC. The students who enroll in this Summer workshop usually are go-getters who have clear goals for college and want to succeed. These students have the opportunity to see the benefit of the workshop as it covers materials pertinent to the FYC course they are concurrently taking.
