Writing Consultants and Tutors

Undergraduate students who have taken WRT 353, a 3-credit tutor training course called "Issues and Methods in Writing Consultancy" are eligible to apply to become tutors in one of four locations:

Tutoring in the Writing Center

In the URI Writing Center, faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students tutor side by side, and collaborate on research projects about writing. In addition to each person's set tutoring schedule, weekly staff meetings are mandatory.

Discipline-Specific Writing Consultants

Undergraduate Writing Consultants focus their tutoring efforts on writing for specific disciplines. In some cases, Writing Consultants are attached to a particular course and instructor, and work closely with the students in that class. In other cases, Writing Consultants work on writing assessment and other writing-centered research projects for various disciplines.
