Thanks for your help.

I found that each series had something to offer the other did not. Tutor's Guide is better at showing group tutoring situations, which is what we do here. The downfall for me is that we tutor mostly science courses, and the situtations in the video deal with a lot of Humanities subjects. I really like the content of the tapes though, so I continue to use them. Productive Tutoring Techniques is obviously more up to date. My tutors tend to become hysterical watching Tutor's Guide because of "old" hair and clothing styles. I like the way Productive Tutoring Techniques approaches one on one issues like encouraging students to learn independently. My tutors did comment that the scenarios seem a bit long to get the point across. I will continue to use both sets of tapes as they each have something of value. Our tutor training seminar is a one credit class that meets once a week for 1 1/2 hours for 10 weeks. I would say that I use videos about 1/3 of the time and of course always have discussion afterwards. I hope this helps.
