When Tutorials Go Bad: Writing Studio Session, Friday November 9th
When Tutorials Go Bad, Sarah Dyne–12pm Friday, November 9th — Troy Moore Library, 9th Floor General Classroom Building
The interaction between tutors and students in most cases is usually a great reciprocal relationship. However, occasionally the tutorial session can go wrong, due to a variety of time-related, interpersonal, and interest factors. This presentation will focus on the best ways for tutors to handle difficult situations and provide tutors with strategies for salvaging those sessions that go wrong. Resources from the Library Catalog on tutoring include the following: Before and after the tutorial; A tutor’s guide; and Working with student writers.
