    Description
    Designed to prepare students to become peer tutors in the Writing Center. Participants learn specific tutoring techniques and discuss problems, questions, and challenges in tutoring writing. Tutors develop student-centered, non-intrusive tutoring skills that avoid “appropriating the text” (i.e., becoming a proofreader, editor, or co-author). Topics include theory and practice of tutoring writing, including writing as a process, interpersonal communication techniques, cross-cultural tutoring, group learning, and computer programs applicable to writing instruction. 27.00 hours lecture and 27.00 hours laboratory. (TBA Option) (Letter grade only)
