Chapter 3 Reflection: What Does ‘Professionalism’ Mean?

Complete Chapter 3 Activity (interviewing a current Writing Center consultant) and read peer tutor Carrigan Price’s Professionalism in the Writing Center: Combining Compassion and Composition before completing this reflection.

• Now that you’ve read Chapter 3, interviewed a University of Wyoming Writing Center consultant, and have read Carrigan Price’s reflection on professionalism at Utah State University, how do you define “professionalism” in a peer tutoring context?
• What might professionalism practically look like in your sessions? Please give three concrete examples.

If you’re turning in a written reflection to your director (yes, for UW), please write a minimum of one paragraph.
