Depending on how much time you have you could always mention other things you see need improvement, then have the student do the homework on those finishing touches, while you've covered more in depth the more prominent issues.

You might not even need to worry about it. Or you might just do a bang-up job of modeling how to look up the answers to those pesky later-order concerns. You could even tell the student, "Sure, I could fix this FOR you, but that's not what we do here at the writing center, and you'll benefit a lot more from having me show you how to find the answer on your own." ;-) Send the Fail Whale back out to sea!marybethjclarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599484568206296562noreply@blogger.com
