>>English 5 is a one-credit tutorial that complements instruction in a 
>>student's composition course (ENGL 4, 15, 202; ESL 4, 15; Cont. Ed. ENGL 
>>4, 15, 202).  Students enrolled full-time do not have to pay an 
>>additional fee for this credit.  English 5 comprises a weekly, 35-minute 
>>tutorial.  All English 5 tutors have successfully taught composition 
>>courses in the English Department and have elected to tutor writing as 
>>part of their regular duties as a teaching assistant or lecturer.  As 
>>trained, sympathetic readers, tutors support your instruction at any 
>>stage in the composing process, from understanding an assignment to 
>>revising a draft to reviewing graded papers. Moreover, tutors encourage a 
>>writer's independence.  They do not edit or proofread papers; instead, 
>>they ask questions to help your students analyze and improve their own writing.
>>
>>Dialogue between teachers, tutors, and students ensures the students' 
>>success.  Therefore, having students in English 5 will create some 
>>additional work for you, as you correspond with the tutors regarding your 
>>students' progress.  Tutors will send you brief weekly reports 
>>summarizing the work accomplished and clarifying expectations.  Your 
>>reply will help tutors work effectively with your students.
>>
>>To emphasize the supportive nature of English 5, tutors do not mark 
>>papers, grade exercises, or evaluate students in any way.  A student 
>>receives the same grade in English 5 as s/he receives in your class.  You 
>>(not the tutor) determine a student's grade.  However, a student may fail 
>>English 5 if s/he misses more than two tutoring sessions.  Two lates 
>>equal one absence.
