For the writing center philosophy assignment I want to write as if it were for a website for the center itself. It would be meant to be read by students and so would not be full of technical theories and that kind of thing. I want it to be easily readable to any student and spark their interest in what the center could do for them. I want them to know that it is a safe place where they would not be judged and that we are there to help them as much as we can. I want to make sure I focus on the fact that the tutors would be students (probably graduate students) so that they know it's not going to be another classroom experience where the professor sits in front of them and act like an authority figure. I also have to make sure it's not to wordy because if I were in their position, I would not want to read pages and pages worth of information. I want it to feel inviting and maybe even welcoming. I also want to bring technology into my center. Focus on computers and how we might be able to use them. Maybe have remote sessions over webcam.
