Student Tutor Guides

The guides on this page are intended to help student tutors working in the writing lab as they consult with other student writers. Please contact writing.lab@purdue.edu with any queries.

Consulting with Graduate Students

The purpose of this guide is to aid undergraduate students who will assist graduate-level writers as part of their work in the writing lab. It gives an introduction to genres common in graduate writing and describes a series of strategies for understanding the common "moves" in these genres. These include the Creating a Research Space (CARS) model.
