Carter, Karen; McNeill, Jane

Three institutions of higher education piloted peer tutoring/guidance arrangements. Results suggest that students have an enhanced role to play in a renegotiated tutor-student relationship. Uses the darkness metaphor to convey the transition students undergo as they move from their early university days toward a more enlightened position. (Author/MKA)
