Once the staff had identified the specific skills, a "model of assessment and intervention for each skill was identified so as to apply the diagnostic/prescriptive approach" (Minskoff, Allsopp and Minskoff,
2001). In addition, the staff was able to integrate "direct instruction into the basic instructional approach" into the programs used by tutors (Minskoff, Allsopp and Minskoff, 2001). The overall idea
was to develop and implement a plan to deliver service to these students (Minskoff, Allsopp and Minskoff, 2001). Once the various skill sets were developed, they were tested by tutors
who met with students to explain the project "and solicit commitment to implementing the strategies that they were to be taught" (Minskoff, Allsopp and Minskoff, 2001). The tutor first
administered a questionnaire that had been developed to allow students to identify their specific problems. The results of this questionnaire "were discussed by the tutor and the Project staff. Then
an intervention plan was developed to teach strategies to the students to improve their performance in their coursework" (Minskoff, Allsopp and Minskoff, 2001). Students met with their tutors several times
a week and the tutors "kept logs of their intervention sessions to document the amount of contact time, the strategies used" among other factors (Minskoff, Allsopp and Minskoff, 2001).
