Bum Bum Ba Bum Bum Ba Bum Bum Da Dum. The end of the semester is coming up fast and it is almost time for finals. There is less than a month left in the school year. It is a time for increased stress levels and last minute drop ins before an assignment is due. A quote by Claus Moser shows just how important a tutor is, "Education costs money, but then so does ignorance." Tutoring can be a tough task, but helping someone to learn is always a great reward. Looking back on this short passage of time, I have learn quite a bit.
1. Sometimes people don't need help they just need someone to listen to their thought process.
2. There will always be one person that just wants you to write their paper for them.
3. Slow and steady helps students to understand the writing better.
4. Its ok to be wrong sometimes, as long as you know how to be right after.
5. The meaning of the "O" face.
6. The positive impact of the writing center on fellow Yuba College students.
There are some more useful tips I have learned and it has been a wonderful experience working at the writing center to say the least.
I have noticed many of the same things while working with students at the writing center. Many students come in really just wanting someone to listen to their ideas and provide minor feedback. The Writing Center is definitely a positive place for everyone at Yuba College. It is great seeing the English professors come in a utilize it as well. Most importantly, I love spending my day helping other students!
