Presentation Transcript

    14. WC Online www.casewconline.com Students can view WRC schedules and make appointments by going to www.casewconline.com. Consultants and students receive e-mails when an appointment is scheduled or canceled. Each consultant can record details regarding student visits in session report sheets. Students can have session report sheets emailed to their instructors. The WRC accepts walk-in visits, but students with appointments receive priority.

    17. Introduction to One-on-One Writing Instruction General Tutoring Tips Before the Session: Review your appointments on WC Online. Students may indicate their writing concerns in advance. You may also use WC Online to view students’ past appointments and learn about issues they covered with other consultants.

    18. Introduction to One-on-One Writing Instruction Beginning the Session Greet the student and help him or her to be comfortable. Gauge the situation. Ask the student if he or she has been to the WRC; if not give him of her a brief overview of what to expect during the session. After the initial greetings, encourage the student to talk by asking open-ended questions, rather than closed-ended questions, or those that the student may answer in one-or-two words.

    19. Introduction to One-on-One Writing Instruction Examples of closed-ended questions: “Do you have a description of your assignment?” “When is your paper due? “Do you have any ideas for improving this paragraph? Examples of open-ended questions: What can I do to help?”; “What have you been working on in class?”; “What do you like about the class?” (Open-ended questions generally begin with “what,” “why,” or “how”)

    20. Notes on the Session Report Sheet: Regardless of whether the student wishes a copy to be emailed to his or her professor, consultants fill out an online session report sheet for every student visit (to help us maintain statistical data). Paper copies are available online on our instructional materials page. You may choose to fill out these sheets with your students as an icebreaker. You may use the sheets to initiate conversation regarding the students’ writing concerns. Sometimes, students may not have the vocabulary to speak about their papers. Or, they may say “grammar,” as a catch-all term to refer to anything from organization to commas. In these cases, the session report sheet can be a useful teaching tool.
