In this course, we will examine how individualized writing instruction can be beneficial to writers by exploring a range of strategies for offering such instruction. We’ll explore everything from the nuts and bolts of what makes a successful writing center session to new media and online tutoring, working with writers in the disciplines, navigating error, working with multilingual writers, and investigating how different identities surface and play out in the writing center. In addition to attending and participating in our seminar-style classes, you will be required to observe and then tutor in the Center. Your work in the Center will be the focal point from which the rest of our course evolves. As you read, write, think, discuss, and research, you will always be reflecting on your tutoring sessions, using your experiences in the Center to push back on the texts we read, and theorizing about how to build knowledge about writing centers. After successful completion of the course, you will be eligible to work for pay in the UGA Writing Center.
*This course counts as both experiential learning and a writing intensive course.
