Re: the tutee's privacy

["ERIC O. BUSWELL" <ZZBUSWELLE@winthrop.edu>]

I think that it differs from school to school whether the instructors are 
informed.  The school I attended for my undergrad training had a strict 
privacy policy.  But we also had a lot of product-based instructors and I 
think the students were hesitant for these instructors to "hear" about 
the studnet's "errors."

Now I am at a school where the instructors are informed of the student's 
progress/work in the writing center, but it seems that we have mainly 
process-oriented comp instructors.  So far I have not seen any grumbling 
on the student's part about letting their instructors know the contents of 
the conferences.

I guess it depends on the school, the instructors, and on the students.
