Overview Apply now Job no: 550482 Work type: Graduate Assistant Location: San Bernardino - San Bernardino Campus Job Summary Graduate assistant writing consultants conduct one-to-one writing conferences with undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff from all disciplines providing tutoring that requires knowledge and background beyond that generally possessed by undergraduate consultants. In these conferences, they function as writing consultants who write with, never for, other writers. They serve as the primary writing center resources for graduate students including work with graduate student writers on culminating experiences such as theses, projects, and dissertations. They develop and conduct in-class writing, citation, and peer review workshops. They also develop and present Writing Center and writing process informational workshops for writing classes across disciplines, in addition to presenting workshops and presentations for other campus programs as requested. Graduate student assistant writing tutors may also consult with faculty members on assignment design, conduct online as well as face-to-face conferences, conduct ESL/multilingual conversation groups, or contribute to other writing center-related projects as opportunities arise. They assist with center research and assessment efforts, collect and analyze data, and develop proposals for conference presentations. In addition to their consulting roles, all tutors keep detailed daily records of writing conferences, which are aggregated into the Writing Center’s database, they attend professional development meetings, and they assist students with scheduling appointments and with using the technology needed for working collaboratively with tutors via Zoom or by accessing asynchronous feedback. As part of our individual and programmatic professional development and assessment, they also conduct observations of other tutors’ writing conferences and provide mentoring, feedback, and written feedback to the Director regarding sessions observed, in addition to writing reflective assessments of their own writing conferences.
