Tutor Thry, Prac 2

Catalog description

This second weekly colloquium is taken concurrently with a student's first semester of tutoring in the Reading/Writing Center. It examines in greater complexity the tutor/student relationship, writing center theories, and current research in the field, while supporting new tutors as they apply their preparation to actual tutoring sessions. Increased emphasis is placed on the expectations of writing in various disciplines and on assisting writers from cultures and backgrounds different from one's own. Prerequisite: 201 and permission of instructor.
