EDU 100 Tutoring Theory Practice

The course is designed to lead practicing tutors into an examination, through readings and discussion of what tutoring is, why and how it works and what tutoring can and cannot accomplish in a college setting. Because the course is designed to run concurrently with practical tutoring, candidates need to apply to and be accepted by College Tutoring Services. Acceptance is based on transcript, faculty evaluation and interviews and takes place during the semester prior to that during which the course is taken. In order to earn 2 credit hours, students must attend a series of five workshops with planned activities and discussion designed to lead to greater cultural self-awareness and therefore awareness of other peoples' cultural selves.
