* Why a writing center: The writing center was developed to give students the chance to feel comfortable recieving help. The writing center uses students who come from different backrounds and learning experainces. The center is ran by English department faculty, with guidance from other subjects(Education department, Second Lanuage department, etc).
* Qualifations for coaches: The coaches have to be second year or higher students that hold a GPA of a 3.0 in English. Coaches must complete a training program and have a back-round check. We also have e-mail addresses for each coach, so If a question comes up you can contact your coach. These e-mail are screened by our faculty to insure the safty of our coaches. I coaches provide a breif desripotion of themselves so students can have a better chance of relationg to the coach. Hours are posted and in some cases our coaches may be able to attend class with student to provide extra support.
* Who talks....coaches or the student? This will vary but most of the time the student shall do most of the talking. our coaches are in place for guidance and support and not to dominate the session.
* Higher up staff?
The program is ran by the coaches first with support and guidance from English faculty.
* How did this writing ceter come about?
The writing center was developed on many years of research. We do not follow one set style. we understand that every student is diffrent and they each have their own way of learning so, we provide support the same way, "indeviualized".
