Students will also investigate their own literacy histories and assumptions about writing, observe writing instruction in classrooms and/or tutoring centers, and explore specific areas of interest to them related to teaching/tutoring writing. Students from all majors are welcome, although the course may be particularly valuable to Education, English, and Communications majors, as well as those interested in writing, editing, or publishing. Upon successful completion of this course, students may have opportunities to work in the Writing Center and/or as an embedded tutor in a course involving writing in a specific discipline.
