The on-line lab pairs Roane State composition students with graduate writing tutors at UALR. However, this paper argues that the non-directive tutoring practices so prevalent in tutoring manuals such as Leigh Ryan's The Bedford Guide for Writing Tutors are more heavily influenced by institutional and social considerations than by writing center theories subsumed under either the romantic or social constructionist epistemologies.
