EDUCATIONAL
PHILOSOPHY
Our first tenet is to emphasize the process of
composition. Thoughtful reading of material, brainstorming
for ideas and writing from a plan are essential preparations for a first
draft. We also stress that such a draft is only the beginning of a revising
process that culminates in a carefully edited and proofread paper. In brief, we
discourage all forms of hasty and ill-considered work.
Our second belief is that the responsibility for
developing, rewriting and editing a paper remains at all times with the
student. We do not proofread papers. Students cannot drop off their work and
later pick it up corrected. On the contrary, they must make an active
commitment to the tutor and the work at hand. Further, tutors do not go over
the entire paper with students but selectively call attention to typical
problems, suggest solutions, and leave the tutees with the responsibility for
revising adequately.
A third tenet concerns tutorial neutrality. While
consulting with students about their writing assignments, tutors do not
speculate about the grade a person might receive on a particular revision and
do not discuss either the merits of the instructors' grading systems or the
quality of their assignments.
Finally, we believe that the

English 680 - 091 provides individualized writing
instruction in a workshop setting. The class meets in the
There is no prerequisite for taking this course;
English 091 is an adjunct course that can be taken in conjunction with other
English courses such as 090, 101, or 102; or English 091 can be taken as an
elective at any time. Both undergraduate and graduate students may enroll.
English 680 - 091 can be taken more than once
because it is offered on a satisfactory/no credit basis. Also, taking the
course does not limit a student's semester load to twelve credits; two
transcript credits for the course count toward a student's total semester load.
As part of the course curriculum, students develop
and use personalized revision and editing strategies, and they participate in
editorial discussion groups which select class members' writings for the course
magazine, Writing Across the Rainbow. At
least two of the pieces that each student writes are printed in the magazine,
and at the end of the semester each student is given a copy of the magazine.
Every semester, the class meets in the
