Subject:

English

Description:

This course introduces students to the history, theory, and practice of peer-to-peer writing center collaboration and tutoring. Students will learn how to apply best practices in writing center tutoring with a focus on improving the writer rather than the product. Using a theoretical approach, participants will modify tutoring sessions to appropriately meet the diverse needs of each writer. Students will also study various tutoring methods, different learning styles, and revision strategies and thoroughly review genres of writing, the writing process, and MLA and APA documentation systems. Students will participate in observing, analyzing, and reflecting on collaborative tutoring sessions and the collaborative tutoring process. This course is highly interactive, and fieldwork is a requirement. Students who successfully complete this course may apply to work in the Writing Center for the subsequent semester.
