Today we got to know one another a little bit. From listening to what you said about yourselves, it sounded to me like each one of you has had experieces you can draw from for tutoring work. I think we have a great group and I am looking forward to working with you this term.
We also went through the syllabus and the calendar, you got a brief (and very small) look at the course blog, and took a look at the NIH site for training.
Regarding the non-computerized nature of our classroom, I have found three additional laptops that we can use M- W from 9:30 - 11:00 - and as I recall that was all we needed. So for Wednesday - be sure to bring your laptop - and an ethernet cable if you have one. The room is supposed to have wi-fi but I have had mixed experiences with being able to connect to the internet in that room. So for now, it looks like we will be meeting in CAS 315.
For Wednesday - buy your books and look them over. Read through the sections in McAndrew and Reigstad (8-21) on research, and what tutoring *isn't*. And find yourself a writing joural & get started on the NIH training.
In class on Wednesday we will talk over the readings, make sure everyone is OK with the NIH online training, and you will do some writing in your journals and set up your blogs. Also - I am going to ask everyone to send me an email at the course email from your dedicated account. See you Wednesday!
