I should add, that we hire about 50 tutors and it is all appointment only--no drop in hours. Plus I hire tutors throughout the semester. For example, if I run out of Spanish tutors, I go back to the professors and ask for more recommendations of tutors. For basic training I give the tutors that we hire after we have finished basic training on-line assignments and then include them in the full tutor training the following semester.

It has a few benefits. For example, if a tutor wants 20 hours a week and I schedule him for 18, he is more likely to substitute when it is needed and he is less likely to get overwhelmed. The tutors that I hire later are told that I can only give them 10 hours right now, but likely more later. Then I'm not in a panic when someone quits. Invariably, someone will quit or reduce hours about this time of the semester. I have about 30 tutors -- so I have more flexibility than a center that only need 10 or fewer tutors.

We try to be careful that tutors aren't scheduled for more hours than are reasonable, and can excuse an occasional absence, but if people feel overscheduled or other parts of their lives implode . . . so it goes Elizabeth Dewey Teaching/Learning Center, Delta College University Center, MI 48710 989.686.9587 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access the LRNASST-L archives or User Guide, or to change your subscription options (including subscribe/unsubscribe), point your web browser to http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/lrnasst-l.html To contact the LRNASST-L owner, email [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access the LRNASST-L archives or User Guide, or to change your subscription options (including subscribe/unsubscribe), point your web browser to http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/lrnasst-l.html To contact the LRNASST-L owner, email [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access the LRNASST-L archives or User Guide, or to change your subscription options (including subscribe/unsubscribe), point your web browser to http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/lrnasst-l.html To contact the LRNASST-L owner, email [log in to unmask]
