Hi all,

Timothy B. is a frequent visitor to the WC and is challenged by his reading assignments and the technology that is necessary to complete them. His instructor, Laura Henry, sent me information on his assignments. I've attached her message and her request to forward his assignments to other tutors. His assignments are attached.

Hi Danny,

I had a chance to work with Tim today, and his big issues are tense consistency and breaking his work up into paragraphs. While there are problems with wordy and awkward sentences, I'm not concerned with that right now. We haven't discussed those issues in class.

My rubric, peer review, and a note on the assignment are attached. This is the same info for all of my students, and a few other students might be coming your way. Do I need to send this info to anyone else or just to you?

In the future, I'm going to try to send these in advance of every assignment. It is good for all of my students, but I think Tim really needs the support. I'm happy that he's utilizing the writing center and am glad that you guys are working with him.

Thanks,
Laura
