1 Cr. This one credit course provides practical training for upper division students who tutor ENGL 103 students in the Viterbo Learning Center. Peer tutors are trained to work in an inquiry-based, collaborative mode, which signifi es two principle things: 1) the student writer maintains control of his/her work at all times, and 2) peer tutors guide student writers toward critical realizations by means of question asking. In the "Tutoring of Writing Seminar," peer tutors spend time honing the subtle skills of inquiry through a number of mock-tutoring exercises. Peer tutors also spend time reviewing upcoming ENGL 103 assignments, responding to representative samples of work by ENGL 103 students, and reviewing the overall goals of the ENGL 103 curriculum. "Tutoring of Writing Seminar" provides excellent practical training for students going on to work in any kind of publishing, marketing, teaching, or other work involving the collaborative production of texts. In particular, the course offers excellent preparation for students hoping to attain assistantships or fellowships to support future graduate study.
