Yeah. The form predated TutorTrac, though there have been modifications over the years. Here's another one.

Every time I fill it out, I think, "It would be really nice if _______ were different." Two things specifically jump out at me: 1. Putting a little box for "required visit" on the form like the one on the Writing Center form. If the box isn't there, I don't ask, and I'm probably not the only one. 2. Making the "preparing for" on the right hand side correspond with what's in TutorTrac. As it is, you can select "homework," "a paper," "a test," or "other." I frequently wind up checking "other" and writing underneath "mastering course concepts," which is a category you can select on TutorTrac. I think it would be good for the two to have the same (or similar) categories. Anyway, these are preliminary thoughts. I wonder if anyone else has suggestions for improving the tutoring form? Or maybe I'm just hard to please. Oh well.
