REFLECTING OVER MY WRITING CENTER EXPERIENCE

Tutoring is always beneficial especially if you’re having trouble understanding a certain subject. The writing center is the place to go if you need help on understanding how to start a writing assignment that you’re having trouble on. Well, I went for help on my descriptive essay assignment the other day. The tutor helped me find out a new way to setting up my writing process. I read my essay draft to him and he took notes on the side. After I was done reading he read his notes to me, they were over parts of my essay that I needed to work on. Things that I needed to work on were my tense, my pronoun shifting, and adding more description to some portions of my essay. He also helped me create a thesis statement and topic sentences for each and every one of my paragraphs. He gave me advice on writing essays for future reference; he gave me the reason for each topic sentence and told me the reason behind the thesis statement. The thesis statement purpose is to inform your reader what you are going to be writing over. It should say exactly what you’re writing about for any essay or writing assignment as he said. I like going to the writing center because every time I leave I leave with something new in mind. I also like the fact that they take consideration on how you want your paper to be written. They ask questions like where are you on the assignment, what do you need help on, how would you start this paragraph, and from these questions they build off on it with you. That to me is the best part about the writing center they really know how to handle your situation. I wish I had something to complain about or wish something was done differently but there’s nothing that comes to my mind. The tutoring I got helped me and I’m glad for that, so nothing needed to have changed or needed to be different. Tutoring is going to be a big part throughout my college life so I plan to get it as much as I can.
