The Tutoring Book - California State University, Sacramento

The WAC Clearinghouse (http://wac.colostate.edu)
This site is meant to be a resource for teachers who have some element of writing in their courses and
since this is a very wide focus, the resources found here can also be useful to tutors and tutees. This site is
home to a variety of open source, professional publications. Graduate tutors or teacher candidates may be
interested in the WAC Clearinghouse Journals, which include, naming a few:
• Across the Disciplines: exploring the intellectual, political, social, and technological complexity of
language, learning, and academic writing.
• The WAC Journal: Writing across the curriculum (WAC) educators exchanging WAC practices and theory.
• The Journal of Basic Writing: articles on theory, research, and teaching practices related to basic writing.
The Open-Access Books on the WAC Clearinghouse Web page might surprise you as well. Here you can
find 38 books free to download or view, all devoted to academic writing. As a tutor, and really as a
student as well, you will find that ‘open-access’ here does not mean these books are of lesser value. Here
is a list of some of the series available now:
• Perspectives on Writing: series editor, Susan H. McLeod, University of California Santa Barbara.
• Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition: series editors, Charles Bazerman, University of California
Santa Barbara; Anis Bawarshi, University of Washington; and Mary Jo Reiff, University of Tennessee-
Knoxville.
• NCTE on WAC: series editor, Mike Palmquist, Colorado State University.
• Landmark Publications in Writing Studies: series editor, David R. Russell, Iowa State University.
