Dear Professors, stop having students buy these boring books.
While this text is the premier in Writing Center studies, do not buy any product from Brogan Books. We ordered one copy on September 22, 2011 and have yet to receive any reply or book.
The book is a collection of numerous extended tracts on various subjects, along with detailed advice for writing tutors. A lot of the advice revolves around being able to coach the students into learning for themselves, with a minimal amount of nudging from the tutor to ensure that the students are correctly assimilating the material.
