I am, unfortunately, no longer in that class, but I am still tutoring at our writing center--as is most of the BSU students that were/ are involved with this blog. Anyway, last semester our professor, and director of the writing center, had us analyze another tutor's session that had already been transcribed for us. I, personally, found this to be an enriching experience. I learned a great deal about how "what" someone says, or "how" someone presents themselves, greatly influences a session. <BR/><BR/>I was fortunate to receive a very positive session--which went very, very well. Needless to say, I learned a great deal what works well in trying to get a positive outcome.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I did feel a little ripped-off in receiving that transcription. What additional information, or realizations, could I have gained through analyzing a session that bordered on terrible?<BR/><BR/>I think the same could be said of analyzing a session of my own...am I the consultant that I think I am? Or, could I change my approach to better suit the needs of the writer?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post and getting me thinking again!Alisha Kamphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021863287095747457noreply@blogger.com
