Peer Tutoring: this is the end

Posted on May 8, 2013 by denisejeannee — Leave a comment ↓

Just so you know, I’ve posted your final grades for peer tutoring on Campus Connect, and I’ve responded to your tutoring reflections and in the center project drafts on D2L, too. You’ve all done great work this semester, and I will keep you on the list of potential tutors in the future: be on the lookout for emails from me whenever we need more tutors in the writing center (especially if I can find a way to increase funding and hire more tutors).

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, let me know. Otherwise, have a great summer!

This is it: we’ve reached the end of the semester. You’ve all done wonderful work in the writing center this semester, and I hope you feel the experience has been rewarding for you, too. Here’s what you need to know to finish the semester in this class:

If not completed earlier, turn the following in by Friday, 5/3 @ midnight:

Your tutoring reflection/philosophy should be uploaded to the D2L dropbox (tutoring reflection folder).
Your “In the Center” projects should be uploaded to the D2L dropbox (in the center projects folder), or if it cannot be uploaded, bring the project by my office between (click here to see when I’ll be in my office during finals).

If not completed earlier, turn the following in by Wednesday, 5/8 @ 5pm (click here to see when I’ll be in my office).

Turn in all paperwork on tutoring: Consultant response sheets, time sheets, session sheets. This evidence provides your tutoring practicum grade.

Remember, we’ll be in our old CAM classroom (CAM 102) for our final class meeting next week. Between now and then, you should work on the following things:

Get the rest of your tutoring hours in as needed.
Start (or keep) working on your tutoring reflection project.
Continue working on your “in the center” project as needed.
If possible, bring rough draft(s) of tutoring reflection and/or “in the center” projects for feedback during class next week (it will be an informal peer response opportunity).

No discussion board response necessary this week.

Get your tutoring hours in.
Keep thinking about and working on your “In the Center” project
Start working on your tutoring reflection project as needed.
With the above in mind, I’m going to open up a discussion thread on D2L that can serve as a general brainstorming/discussion post: How has the tutoring gone so far for you this semester? What ideas are you considering for your “In the Center” project? What questions do you have for your classmates and I as we approach the end of the semester? Try to post a 200-word response to these questions (or any other thoughts you have about peer tutoring).

Make sure to get your tutoring hours in.
Read/skim pages 317-326, the “Glossary of Usage,” in Writing Matters.
Read/skim Tab 7, “APA Style” in Writing Matters (201-242).
Compose a reading response and post to the D2L discussion board (shoot for around 300 words): for this reading response, you can focus on the reading a bit for this week, but I’d also like you to start considering what you might want to do for your “in the center” project for this class. Click here to read through the assignment prompt for the project, and consider the following questions: what do you want to do? Why? What help do you need from me? Shoot for 1-2 paragraphs of freewriting about this project as part of your reading response for this week.

Your Case Study of Yourself as a Writer drafts need to be turned in next week: if the project can be uploaded, upload it to the D2L dropbox (case study folder) by 5pm Monday. If the project cannot be uploaded, bring it with you to class next week to give to me. If you have any questions or want some feedback before turning in your draft, let me know. We can arrange a conference; you can also bring it to the writing center for feedback, too!
Finish Ch. 13 in Peer Tutoring (pages 180-185; start with the section “The Writer Has chosen a Really Bad Topic” and read to the end of the chapter).
Read/skim pages 458-483, Chapters 55-60, “Other Punctuation Marks,” “Capitalizing,” “Italics and Underlining,” “Abbreviations,” “Numbers,” “Spelling and the Hyphen,” Writing Matters.
Post a reading response (200-300 words) on the D2L discussion board
Keep tutoring. See the “Tutoring Practicum tips and advice” handout for more information about your tutoring responsibilities and opportunities. If you need a copy of the handout, let me know.
Start thinking about your “In the Center” project for this class (which is due in May): what might you be interested in doing for this final assignment? Conventional paper, multimedia presentation, something to be displayed in the writing center/on the writing center blog or website?
