- Abstract
This mixed methods study examines peer collaboration between undergraduate students and writing center tutors to determine impact on students' perceptions of the peer collaboration process and confidence level toward using APA format in research writing. Interviews and questionnaires were used to gain insight regarding perceptions of APA application and the collaborative process. Results show that students felt more comfortable with their writing skills after visiting the learning center for a writing consultation and were also more likely to see a writing consultant after the experience. Similar results are reflected in the themes present from the interviews conducted.
