Working
against the notion that "one size fits all,"
AUP's Writing Lab, as part of the
Academic Resource
Center (ARC), embraces individual
differences and language confusions. What we do
in the Writing Lab is as varied as the students
who come in for appointments. |
| |
|
Our
concerns go beyond working on one particular
paper. Although we are happy to work with you on
ideas, organization, argument, sentence
structure, grammar, etc, in a particular writing
assignment or project, we have in mind larger
issues about argumentation, critical thinking
and style. As a result, conferences are highly
interactive. We will focus on problems in a
short period of time and teach you skills which
will serve you during your career at AUP. The
more you work with us, the more confidence and
independence you will gain in your college
writing. |
| |
|
Come by
our ARC offices to meet us and make an
appointment. So that we can use our time
efficiently, bring drafts of your work, note
cards and class notes, the course syllabus or
assignment, anything you have which can help us
during our time together. But you don't have to
be finished — or even started — with a paper to
come for an appointment. |

How to
become a Writing Lab tutor |
| |
| |
|
 |
Would you like to
challenge yourself (and earn money)? |
|
|
|
|
|
Do you have
excellent writing skills as demonstrated in your previous
and current AUP classes? |
|
|
|
|
|
Would you enjoy the
experience of working with students one-to-one on their
writing? - Are you curious about how writers make decisions,
improve their skills, measure their progress and understand
what they’re doing as they write? |
|
|
|
|
|
Would you like to
work in one of the most academically enriching spaces at AUP
(ARC), with other students who are similarly driven to
explore written language and its role in the lives of AUP
students? |
|
|
|
|
Each semester AUP’s Writing Lab offers
qualified students the opportunity to
earn money while assisting AUP students
with their writing. The number of
these challenging and rewarding
positions varies from semester to
semester.

Director of the Writing Lab at

Tutors' reflections
on being a
tutor
|
| |
| |
|
Working with the Writing
Lab allows students this space to improve and
excel in their writing in a way which a
professor’s feedback never will. Working
for the Writing Lab not only requires
these skills but also the ability to
communicate them clearly and efficiently... |

What you can
expect |
|
|
|
You set the
agenda, and we help you achieve your
short and long-term goals.
We will listen to your ideas for
topics and ask questions to help you
develop your focus, so that you can
begin writing knowing what you want
to accomplish in your paper. We will
ask you to read part of your paper
aloud so you can ‘hear’ your voice.
Expect that the
tutor may identify important goals
that you did not think of. Deciding
what to work on in conference is a
collaborative process. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What conferences are like |
|
|
|
They are
interactive: Your appointments in
the lab are productive when you
actively participate by asking
questions and generating your own
ideas for improving a piece of
writing.
They are
workshops: Work is done in
individual, one-on-one collaborative
sessions. If you come to the Writing
Lab to work on sentence structure,
expect to write some sentences. If
you come to work on identifying a
thesis for a paper, expect to
generate some, discuss their pros
and cons, and end up with a number
of good candidates. |
