I have been tutoring high school and college students in writing for several years, including working for my University's writing center. I have worked with students in multiple fields during all parts of the writing process. Additionally, having studied Comparative Literature, a large part of my degree relied on my ability to write.
Homework Offered
Homework will reinforce the skills practiced in class by having students make progress on their final project based on the skills learned each week. For example, when students learn to do a reference list or works cited page, homework for the week will be to do so for their final project. Homework is required for all students and will be graded on completion, though feedback will be offered so students can improve their learning.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
There will be a final take-home paper; however, students will be workshopping it throughout the semester as topics are covered in class. The paper is required for all students and is designed with the goal of giving students practice doing assignments very similar to what they may find in college courses.Grades Offered
