Information and Materials for English 363
From the ENG 363 syllabus:
"This course is designed to provide you with a thorough understanding of philosophy and practice of a University Writing Center. Throughout the semester we will discuss the theoretical foundations of a writing center that services the entire university community. We will also examine and engage in the daily tutoring practices that contribute to a successful writing center. Since good tutoring practice is informed by sound theory, we will spend much time making connections between the two. In the end, you will develop your own tutoring skills and strategies and deepen your knowledge about the role of the writing center within the University. Feel free to call on experienced tutors, Scott Russell, or myself for whatever help or reassurance you need."
