Post observation

After visiting the writing center I was very pleased with what I found. The writing center is a useful workshop for students as much as the library can be. Students go there to find help with their writing assignments and hopefully improve their writing skills. My experience as an observer was with one tutor that was helping two students at a time. He was able to concentrate on both of the student's concerns about their papers and help them with their issues. The only incorrect thing was that he started marking the student's papers and high lighting wrong things which he stopped right away because he remembered that is not such a helpful technique. I believe he did a great job and was able to split the time wisely between both students allowing them to feel comfortable. the thing I liked the most was that he focused on the high order concerns like the thesis and structure of the paper instead of other lower concern issues. His session was a student centered one since he was more concentrated on listening to them then on telling them what to do.
