THE WRITING CENTER HELPING YOU HELP YOUR STUDENTS THROUGH WORKSHOPS, TIP SHEETS, AND TUTORING

NOT JUST AN ENGLISH RESOURCE COMMUNICATIONS HISTORY POLITICAL SCIENCE PSYCHOLOGY NURSING SOCIOLOGY PHILOSOPHY

WHO WE ARE: OUR TUTORS ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS WITH TUTOR TRAINING PEER TUTORS WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED COURSES TUTORED IN WITH AT LEAST A “B” AVERAGE AND ARE RECOMMENDED BY FACULTY COMMUNITY TUTORS WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A DEGREE IN THE AREA/RELATED AREAS THEY TUTOR IN, HAVE TUTORING/TEACHING EXPERIENCE AND EXCELLENT REFERENCES ALL TUTORS IN THE WRITING CENTER RECEIVE CONTINUOUS TRAINING IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF TUTORING SERVICES. TRAINING INCLUDES SUBJECTS SUCH AS WORKING WITH CLIENTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES, WORKING WITH CLIENTS WHO ARE ESL, VARIOUS APPROACHES TO USING TECHNOLOGY DURING A TUTORING SESSION, AND MANY OTHER TOPICS…

OUR MISSION THE FOLLOWING GUIDE THE WRITING CENTER: A DESIRE TO CREATE A NON-THREATENING, COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS, AN INTENTION OF DEALING WITH THE STUDENT RATHER THAN SIMPLY HER PAPER, A HOPE OF CONNECTING PRINCIPLES OF GOOD WRITING WITH SOCIAL ISSUES, A RECOGNITION OF THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND AN ASSIGNMENT IN CONTEXT, A PRACTICE OF ADDRESSING PRIORITIES (A HIERARCHY) IN THE WRITING PROCESS (E.G. CLARITY OVER COMMAS),

OUR MISSION CONTINUED… A PRACTICE OF ATTENTIVELY LISTENING TO STUDENTS, A PRACTICE OF STARTING TO WORK WITH STUDENTS AT WHERE THEY ARE RATHER THAN WHERE THEY SHOULD BE, A PRACTICE OF SHOWING STUDENTS CHOICES AS WELL AS ENCOURAGING THEM TO SET GOALS, AN EVIDENCE OF PROFESSIONAL COURTESY TO THE FACULTY, A DESIRE TO PARTICIPATE IN SELF-REFLECTIVE PRACTICES THAT JOINS A NATIONAL CONVERSATION ABOUT WRITING CENTER PRACTICE.

A COLLABORATIVE WORKSITE, A PLACE OF TRUST A WRITING CENTER, AS A STUDENT-CENTERED COLLABORATIVE SITE, SEEKS TO ENHANCE STUDENTS’ SELF-WORTH AND CONFIDENCE BY WORKING WITHIN NON- EVALUATIVE RELATIONSHIPS OF TRUST.

RESULTS FROM THE FALL ONLINE SURVEY “I HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE WRITING CENTER. I KNEW ONCE I ENROLLED IN MY ENGLISH CLASS THAT I WOULD NEED HELP. THEY DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN HELPFUL AND MADE ME COMFORTABLE IN ASKING FOR HELP AND HELPING ME WITH IDEAS WHEN I AM STUCK. IT'S A PLACE WHERE I CAN GO TO BE FOCUSED.” “THE STUDENTS FOUND THEIR ASSISTANCE HELPFUL. IT WAS REINFORCING WHAT I WAS TEACHING.” “I HAD PRETTY FAST SERVICE. THEY MADE SURE THAT EVERYTHING FROM FORMATTING TO SENTENCE STRUCTURE WAS GOOD. I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE IMPROVED. THEY DO AN AMAZING JOB.” “I ENJOY GOING TO THE LEARNING CENTER BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN GET SOME KIND OF HELP, IT COULD BE GETTING STARTED AND FINISHING UP PAPERS.” “HELPFUL, VERY UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGEABLE, PATIENT.” “HELPED ME MAKE MY IDEAS MORE FREE FLOWING AND COMPLETE.” “HELPED WITH MY HISTORY PAPER. GAVE ME A LOT OF CRITICAL THINKING IDEAS FOR RESEARCH.”
