The course website for WRI3020 with Dr. Erin Andersen
I was quite excited about Late Nite Writes when Dr. Andersen introduced me to the idea one day in class. The idea of setting up shop in the library with the tutors of the Collab and working on my writing assignments as well as helping others with theirs greatly appealed to me. Sitting at home […]

While my previous session was solo as well, this session was more natural than the last and I had felt more comfortable about the direction of the session. This […]
For my co-tutoring session with Princess, we worked together to determine the best way to run this session. We came to the conclusion together that it would be too much to do it all once, so Princess worked with the tutee for the first half and then I took over for the second. While I […]

PRE-SESSION With the school year coming to an end, I knew that I needed to complete my co-tutoring session as soon as I could. I wasn’t sure whether I was actually ready at the time that I had decided to schedule it, but I knew that I was never going to feel like I was […]

Given the circumstances of our IRB applications, I wanted to offer some additional guidance regarding the introduction, literature review, and methods portions of the paper. Introduction This first section helps your reader […]
I was more relaxed entering the Writing Collab to observe another tutoring session than I had been the first time. This time, I had a better idea of what to expect. I was familiar with the physical area of the Writing Collab, with its comfy couches and brewing coffee pot. However, I had also grown […]
