The center operates on the principle that learning is a social, collaborative act in which the tutor's role is to read the writer's work and to respond with objectivity and support. Because the emphasis is placed on encouraging writers to internalize effective writing strategies, the tutor asks questions that help guide you into deciding what revisions are necessary. What you and the tutor do together is not write or edit, but converse. You set the agenda for the session. Bring a copy of your assignment and any written work that you've done while working on the assignment.
Some students even like to bring their computer disks to work directly on-screen.
Schedule several appointments for lengthy papers. In April, we schedule interviews for open positions in the center. If you would like to be contacted regarding employment, please call the Director at 836-5360.
