REVELLE HUMANITIES PEER TUTORING

The Revelle Humanities Peer Tutors are a volunteer group
trained to tutor students in writing for Humanities 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 5. Generally, there are about 10 tutoring sessions per
quarter. In addition, new tutors are required to attend an
orientation at the beginning of Winter Quarter. At the end of
the year, tutors are eligible for our Outstanding Tutor Award,
and are all invited to attend the Revelle College Leadership
Recognition Ceremony.

6. Please correct, edit, and/or comment on this
introductory paragraph to a Humanities 1 essay. This is
more of stylistic assessment than an actual test.
The Old Testament presents a wide variety of kings who are
good or evil, strong or cunning, tyrannical or just.
Each
king makes unique decisions which result in actions that
reveal his attitudes and values through which he can be
judged.
In the second book of Samuel, David, a humble and
intelligent Ephrathite of Bethlehem, becomes king over
Judah and Israel.
It is necessary to judge David through
the same aforementioned lens as the other kings of the
Bible.
David is a righteous man whose strategic military
intellect is matched only by his understanding of common
human life.
Aside from his overt military and tactical
supremacy, David proves himself to be an excellent king
through his numerous victories against uprising and
rebellion, his capacity for compassion and mercy, as well
as his calculated distribution of punishment.
