Although I enjoyed the email consultation process, I am much more suited to the one-on-one game. However, I think it is essential that we branch out into the technological ether, pulling in consultations that were unthinkable even 10 years back.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108390777799350322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790062.post-12052892637939431442009-12-12T18:08:11.362-07:002009-12-12T18:08:11.362-07:00And I think that's just it.

Not only that it just gives me some time to put on my headphones, listen to some music, and offer some quick feedback.<br /><br />Also thank you for the well wishes, I do consider my experience in general with the writing center to be positive and hope to continue it next semester ^^ I've seen the sort of support and community we can offer as a center and it's really an awesome thing when you think about it.Ben Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432516481438048151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790062.post-64922433352875556062009-12-11T14:52:36.097-07:002009-12-11T14:52:36.097-07:00I think the really wonderful thing about what we d...I think the really wonderful thing about what we do and the opportunities we have for growth under Melissa and future leadership, is that there are these different mediums and modes for us to do what we do best--helping writers. I enjoyed the email consultation a good amount, yet I think my strong point is my face-to-face, push and pull, poke and prod mentality. It is a major asset to our Center to see people with different skill sets and different comfort levels using diverse methods to reach a common goal.Justin Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790062.post-76957235890159497752009-10-30T08:14:52.338-06:002009-10-30T08:14:52.338-06:00Ben, I enjoyed e-mail consultations, too. I think ...Ben, I enjoyed e-mail consultations, too. I think that's because I often give my best friend, Lisa, feedback on her writing. She is a Creative Writing student in Florida. So the electronic method seemed familiar. I would definitely miss face-to-face, though, because that's where I can see most of the magic happening. :)<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your "downs"; I hope the future gives you nothing but "ups" in the Center!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940064060833314923noreply@blogger.com
