Shadowing Sarah on November 24th at 10 am (canceled and walk in)
Today I shadowed Sarah however her first appointment canceled on her thirty minutes before the appointment. What an utter disregard for other people’s time, it is got that the tutee thought that coming in would have been a waste of the tutor’s time and his/her own time but it would have been nice to know a little earlier. I’m sure students do not do the same to the professor, although our approach to writing is different and we are not seen as authoritative figures, our time should still be respected.
However, I got to see one of the rare specialties of the writing center, a walk-in, while we were waiting for the next appointment a guy walked in hoping for some help. And because we were free we took him. His concerns like the many I’ve seen in my shadowing were grammatical errors and organizational flow. I really am going to try the reading aloud approach it seems to help the students a lot.
