First Paragraph

In the course of attempting to respond productively to papers well beyond my ken (and often feeling I’ve failed miserably), I gradually developed some ideas about how to approach doing e-mail tutoring outside my areas of expertise. The techniques I outline below do not replace a deep familiarity with the subject matter, but they offer a way to use a lack of familiarity with a subject to respond practically to content issues and also to offer some types of insight that a master of the discipline might not give.
