The issue of proof reading is something that comes up frequently with
regard to study support, but I firmly believe that support tutors should
not be proof reading student's work, as it encourages autonomy rather than
independence. I also think it is also a very expensive use of a tutors
time!
Do other tutors/coordinators agree with this?
