In the fourth week of the course, students will begin serving as apprentice peer tutors in the Writing Center for about two hours each week. Veteran Writing Associates will serve as mentors. We will have tutoring workshops and class time allotted on a regular basis to talk with each other about actual tutoring experiences. Part of our class discussion will take place via an electronic discussion list. This forum will enable students to respond informally to other members of the group, to pose questions about a reading or writing assignment, to follow-up on points made in class, etc.
Students get to select which faculty to invite and to ask the questions.
Students will have an opportunity to present a topic or idea and to lead the class in discussion.
