Writing Center

Faculty Related Information

• The Writing Center is responsible for placing tutors in classrooms.
• Eng 095 and Eng 097 courses receive 2 tutors on Mondays and Fridays.  The tutors stay for one hour and assist the professor with any classroom tasks.  Tutor availability and budget constraints will affect the number of tutors placed in the classrooms.
• Teaching assistants from the College of Education are often placed in Eng 095 and 097 in the autumn quarter.  This negates the need for WC tutors in the classroom.  In the event that only one TA is placed in a course, one tutor will be assigned at the traditional Monday and Friday times.
• Eng 101B classes receive 2 tutors for one hour, two days per week.  These tutors are scheduled according to availability and class times.  These tutors are always writing center employees.
• Tutor or scheduling requests can be submitted to the Writing Center Coordinator by paper form or email.
• To help the writing center provide high quality tutoring, we ask professors and students in classes receiving tutors to evaluate the tutors' performances at the end of the quarter.
• Additional information about the center, its hours, and the use of tutors can be found at the center's website. 
• If you have questions about utilizing tutors in the classroom contact the Writing Center Coordinator.  Often tutors and other writing faculty can answer these questions as well.
