Students registered for this one-credit course consult in the Peer Writing Center for pay between 3 and 10 hours per week and attend occasional staff meetings.
Course Requirements:
Students reflect on course material and on their experiences as consultants by contributing to a class blog and by engaging in conversation with fellow consultants during class meetings. Students also complete a capstone project that represents an integration of their learning throughout the course.
