WRITER’S WORKSHOP: PEDAGOGY AND PRACTICE OF THE WRITING CENTER, Eric Klinger
It’s often said that to truly understand something one must be able to teach it.  With this philosophy in mind, students in this course will learn to become more proficient writers by engaging in hands-on tutoring with peers and studying collegiate writing center practice.  Students will read articles from a broad theoretical and disciplinary pallet and participate in peer tutoring sessions about their own papers to better understand how one teaches and learns about writing. Class topics will include theories of learning, composition and rhetoric, document design, and grammar and style.  Students will write several response papers, occasionally lead class discussions and write a term paper.
