Kendon Kurzer Publishes Article in Writing Center Journal

Kendon Kurzer's co-authored article "Embedded vs. Drop-in Tutors in Developmental Writing Contexts: Course/Tutoring Perceptions and Impact on Student Writing Efficacy" has been published in volume 41.2 of the Writing Center Journal. The article reports on the results of a quasi-experimental study comparing 100 students in basic/developmental courses that featured embedded peer tutors with 78 students who experienced tutoring via a walk-in writing center. While students generally found both embedded and walk-in tutoring to be helpful, the ratings for embedding tutoring tended to be statistically stronger for most variables we investigated, suggesting that students responded more positively to embedded tutoring. The article can be accessed at the following link: https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/wcj/vol41/iss2/3/
