ENC 3493 – Spring 2027 – Ziemer

The teaching of writing is the teaching of thinking.
This course explores acts of reading, writing, conversing, and composing within the theories and practices of contemporary writing center studies: The people who do it, how they do it, and how we help others do it. Throughout the semester, we will explore tutoring practices for working with writers in a one-on-one setting in the context of an R1 university.
The class consists of a four-week practicum, during which students are trained to tutor in FSU's Reading-Writing Center and/or Digital Studio (RWC-DS) under the mentorship of a graduate consultant.
Completion of the course allows students to apply for undergraduate internship opportunities with the FSU Reading-Writing Center and Digital Studio. Interning with the RWC-DS satisfies the EWM internship requirement, but all programs and majors are welcome to take the course.
