SWC 300(ECB 300). Seminar in Peer Tutoring.

Instructor(s):
Prerequisites & Distribution: Permission of instructor. (3). (Excl). May not be repeated for credit.
Credits: (3).
Course Homepage: No homepage submitted.
This seminar aims to help students become theoretically informed and well-practiced peer tutors. During this process, students learn about writing, teaching, community service, cultural differences, and literacy practices. Activities and experiences include reading and critiquing peer tutoring pedagogy; examining student papers and conferences together in class; and writing extensively, from short explorations (e.g., daily reading logs) to lengthy exposition (e.g., seminar papers). Many activities are grounded in hands-on practical experience rather than in theory. This course will provide opportunities to learn by doing, by serving others, and by getting out there and trying out theories, with the goal of students defining their own tutoring style and developing their own theory of practice. Registration is by permission only. Contact the Sweetland Writing Center.
SWC 301(ECB 301). Directed Peer Tutoring.
Instructor(s):
Prerequisites & Distribution: SWC 300 and permission of instructor. (1-3). (Excl). (EXPERIENTIAL). May not be repeated for credit. Offered mandatory credit/no credit.
Credits: (1-3).
Course Homepage: No homepage submitted.
The purpose of SWC 301 is to provide students who have been trained in SWC 300 with the opportunity to tutor in a supportive environment. Students sign up for one to three credits for which they tutor two to four hours per week and attend a weekly one-hour meeting. In the weekly meeting, students share questions about difficult or unusual tutoring sessions, get feedback and advice from their peers and the instructor, review their student evaluations for the week, and discuss how tutoring can run more smoothly. Registration is by permission only. Contact the Sweetland Writing Center.
