WC

I really did love my experience at the writing center. When I got there, I sat my assignment paper down and expected the tutor to read it and help me brainstorm. Instead, he pushed the paper back to my direction and asked ME to tell HIM what my paper was on. Important to know my assignment. So I did and it helped me think about what was expected from me on this paper. We brainstormed for a bit and then he left me to start writing. I liked that he gave me my own space to write it and then after 15 minutes he came back to look at what I had written. He said I was headed in the right direction and corrected a couple of things that I warranted my reader would understand. I was in the first stages of writing so I don't think that he could have helped me more than brainstorming ideas and mapping out my paper. The thing that helped me the most was the fact that I had a conversation with someone else about what I wanted to write and the appointment was very helpful for that reason.

  1. It sounds like your writing center person was really helpful. You are very lucky, my person barely spoke two words to me and did not ask any questions. I had to ask him everything. If I did not say anything I would have ended up sitting in silence for the 10 minutes that I spent there before I realized how little he was actually helping me.
