COURSE DESCRIPTION

Imagination At Work

The ability to summarize, to select and formulate the ideas in writing is a necessity for the academic and professional success.

WHY IS WRITING IMPORTANT?

The art of writing is an asset not only for writers in the field of fiction, documentaries, cinema and others, but also especially for researchers, scientists, leaders, lawyers, managers, etc. |The program exposes students to different forms of writing and teaches them the techniques of good writing and gives them the taste of written communication very quickly

Most students assume the writing process is simply sitting down, typing a paper, and handing it in. Tutors can clarify the stages of writing and help students understand all the steps of the process. This list from Becoming a Master Student, by David Ellis briefly outlines three stages in the writing process.

PHASE ONE (PREWRITING)	PHASE TWO (WRITING)	PHASE THREE (EDITING)
consider the audience	write the first draft	revise the draft
schedule tasks	remember the first draft is not the final draft	take out unnecessary material
generate and brainstorm ideas	write freely	cut and paste for organization and clarity
select and refine the topic	take periodic breaks	fix and edit word usage
develop an outline	put your first draft away for a little while	proof the paper for grammar, spelling, and mechanics
do necessary research	check the organization of your ideas	type the final draft

When working with students on writing assignments, you must first determine where each writer is in the writing process. Does the student have an assignment but not know where to begin? Has the student jotted down some ideas? Or does the student seem to have a final draft of a paper for you to look over? To guide students toward becoming independent writers, the first step is to determine where each student is in the writing process. For tips on entering a writer’s process, visit Dartmouth’s Composition Center .

This link gives further links to address specific concerns students may have: Help with Writing your Paper .

Responding to the Student

Addressing issues in a paper can be an uncomfortable experience for both tutors and students. This is also a crucial time for tutors to be sure not to “take over” students’ papers, especially when dealing with papers that are abundantly problematic. Tutors may be tempted to re-write some of the students’ work. This does not help students become better, more independent writers. For some good advice on how to respond to a student’s paper, read Dartmouth’s Guidelines on Responding to Problems: A Facilitative Approach.

It is important to keep students engaged in the session. Remember, tutors are here to help equip students with the necessary skills to become better writers on their own. Here are some ways to ensure students are actively involved in sessions and getting the most from tutoring in all three stages of the writing process:

PHASE ONE (PREWRITING)	PHASE TWO (WRITING)	PHASE THREE (EDITING)
Ask what the assignment is. Ask to see a written copy of the assignment if the student has one.	Do not write on students’ papers. Students can write on their own papers and should take notes. It is important that students walk away with a visual reminder of what you have gone over during the session.	Require students to have printed copies the papers they wish to review. Do not work with students whose work is not printed.
In helping a student with a paper, discussion plays a vital role. Talk about sound ideas, reasonable arguments, and effective theses. Determine what the main point of the paper will be. Ask what the thesis is. This is a good starting point for a conversation about the content of the paper. Remember, students should be doing most of the talking, working out ideas on with minimal guidance from you.	While you read students’ work or before students read their papers to you, have them make a brief outline or map of what they think are the structure and main points of the paper. It is essential for you to determine whether each paper conveys the intended message.	Have students read their papers out loud. Reading out loud helps students catch some of their own errors and keeps them actively involved in the session.
Helping Students with Ideas/Arguments/Thesis When evaluating a student’s thesis, pay attention to Structure, Style, and Language. Does the thesis statement set forth a structure that is followed in the paper? Is the statement grammatically correct? Does the language set up a clear declaration of a point that will be made in the paper? Thesis checklist is a good starting point.	Keep students engaged by encouraging them to experience the paper as readers instead of a writers. Learn more about moving from writer-based to reader-based prose .	After hearing or reading the student’s written assignment, the tutor then needs to ascertain what aspects of the paper should be focused on first. Dartmouth College ’s Online Composition Center makes the following suggested prioritization for reviewing papers with students: 1. Ideas/Arguments/ Thesis 2. Structure/ Logic 3. Individual Paragraphs 4. Syntax and Grammar
