a great tutoring session, but how do I get the students
to come?
› Work w/Instructor
 can request Ss to meet with DT for a “sign-off” at a point in
the writing process
 can have DT return to Ss drafts with comments/Ss meet
with DT then
 attend class on “outline” day or peer tutoring day to do inclass tutoring
 (Eve section) With instructor permission, DT can pull Ss from
class and have tutoring session
› Set-up “Buddy System” 2 Ss sign-up for a session and help
each other be sure to attend together
› Be sure to frequently remind Ss when you are tutoring; use
moodle messages
› Other ideas ….
