Tutoring graduate students in the writing center.
Abstract
Graduate and professional students must learn new ways of writing, yet many of their programs offer little assistance. Writing center tutoring can help. Although pairing tutor and tutee from the same discipline works best, tutors from other disciplines can be effective if they respect the tutee' s expertise in her own field. Center administrators can offer workshops, organize dissertation groups, and arrange for tutors, students, and thesis advisors to work collaboratively. Research on this issue is sparse; more research should be done to ascertain effective tutoring practices.
