*Background

Research project conducted by Dr. Lorraine Hassan - recommendations:

* Post -training support for tutors needed

* Training should be conducted for lecturers on how to plan tutorials and how to utilize tutors in the running of tutorials.

* There should be a balance between generic training and discipline specific training, for example customised training in departments to promote contextualized learning.

*Co-ordinators should receive continuous professional development in the area of tutor training. Conceptualization of the TTP should go beyond the contents of the guide for student tutors.
