Part 1: Reflection

Today in the writing center, the tutor and I worked with a slower person which taught me a lot because the way the tutors helped them really made me realize another way to look at my writing. The tutor looked carefully at their writing and instead of just reading over and focusing on one thing; they focused on helping them through the assignment and look closely at it. The student was much focused on getting the paper to be a good grade and kept saying that but the tutor was more about trying to help the student with the paper and put it in his own words. One thing I learned in the writing center was adding examples to descriptions. It helped me realize I can add a lot more to my papers to help it make more sense and add support.
