The Student Intensive Continuation Course - Level C (SICC-C) picks up where the Student Writing Intensive - Level C (SWI-C) leaves off and continues with advanced stylistic techniques and the remaining structural models not presented previously. All students viewing the SICC-C should have previous experience and a fair working knowledge of the concepts presented in SWI-C. For example, before viewing SICC-C, students should have completed SWI-C or SICC-B (or have equivalent experience).

Each course consists of ten sessions . Appropriately challenging homework assignments are given for each class. Generally, each session is 90-110 minutes long and includes direct instruction, in-class exercises, modeling, and discussion.

Class materials include all source texts, new charts, assignment checklists, grade sheets, and abundant student samples for each assignment.

Each level includes 9 DVD discs and one CD-ROM with printable class materials. Its use with small groups of students is encouraged, and the reproducible course materials may be distributed freely to all participants.
