Observing at the writing center
Today was my first day observing the writing center. It was a new experience for me. The tutor introduce me to the student that was there for help, so she can feel comfortable that i am there. The student explained the tutor in detail what was her assignment was all about. The student was very tense that her professor made many comments to fix the paper.The student assignment was to write a paper about the video they watched in class.The tutor went through the paper and saw that they were many sentence structure errors, grammar issues, organizing the information in a well written paragraph, also there were some repeated phases.Then the tutor read the paper with the student together. The tutor main focus was on her grammar and sentience structure.While the tutor was reading the paper with the student, the tutor was telling the students to fix the mistakes that she made. The tutor basically was telling everything to the student what needs to be fixed , the students just fixed the mistakes that the tutor told her without asking any question.The students paper was much longer and the tutor said " this never going to end, but we are almost there " the tutor got annoyed by fixing the students grammar, But the tutor was still calm and patient.The student payed full attention to the tutor.She was really focusing on what was the tutor saying to her.I really like that.At the end of the session the tutor tell the student what she needs to work on the most. The tutor even asked me if I had any question. The tutor felt comfortable of me being there and observing.The student comment that this tutor was very helpful then other tutor in the writing center. It was a good experience for me observing the writing center for the first time.
