Tutoring session 3/26
The tutor I observed was very good but he was very authoritative. It was more of a teacher-student session. They focused mainly on the works cited page since that was what the student requested. I guess in that case it is ok for the teacher to take over the session because the student had no idea on how to cite their work. What I really liked was that the tutor had a works cited manual with him for things he was unsure of. He was not afraid to admit that he was unsure of something. Overall the student took a lot out of the session. They did focus a little on the paper and due to the use of terms that he did not understand but overall he got the main idea of what the student was trying to write. They focused on LOC's and they ended the session. It was great because after the session the tutor asked if I had any questions and he helped out a lot with my confusions and curiosities. It was a good session overall. :)

I pretty much always refer to the Purdue OWL website for MLA rules. They have APA and Chicago Manual of Style references too. It's really helpful.
ReplyDeleteThe tutor received a specific request so I guess it's okay in this case. But it does seem like another example of a session focused mostly on the stuff that, according to our text, is least important.
