Kiedaisch, Jean and Sue Dinitz. "'Look Back and Say "So What"': The Limitations of the Generalist Tutor." WCJ 14.1 (1993): 63-74. Reprinted in Barret 260-271.
Kiedaisch and Dinitz weigh in on the Generalist vs. Specialist debate, questioning how peer tutors will know when to accept or question the 'knowledgeable" student about disciplinary conventions (261). Based off of 12 videotaped case studies, Kiedaisch and Dinitz suggest that generalist tutors may have limitations in working with students on disciplinary papers. While students and tutors both rated all the sessions as being of high quality, professors in the discipline noted severe discrepancies, which correlated to the tutors knowledge of the discipline (literature). Critiques Susan Hubbuch for her praise of 'ignorant' generalist tutors..
