If you must miss a shift, please find a substitute and let the others working know of the arrangements you've made. Then note any changes on your timesheet. Unexpected emergencies happen to everyone, but rarely more than once or twice a term. We base discussion in our weekly meetings on these log books, so please record your thoughts after every tutoring session. The log book is always kept in the tutors' room in a secure place.
Pink sheets are the first step of our record keeping.
If a professor wants to know whether a tutor has visited the Writing Center and what topics were covered, I check the computer. If the Dean wants to know how many students are visiting the Writing Center, once again, I check the computer. It's important to complete a form every time you tutor someone, even if the person is a friend, even if you tutor only for a short time, even if you're very busy that afternoon or evening. Pink sheets should be on every table in the Writing Center. If we run out, a copy of the form is on the desktop of every computer.
