My First Observation!

Hi, my name is Jennifer St. Surin and I will be sharing my experiences on observing Laguardia Community College's Writing Center.
The session starts of with the student explaining her assignment, she tells the tutor that the assignment is due the next day and have no other time to do this assignment besides now. She also states that English is not her best subject and she starts to express how much she hates ENG 101. The tutor disregards her comments and begin to read the passage that the student has to respond to in 250 words. After reading the passage the tutor ask the student "is there anything in the passage you would like to focus on?" She replies yes, and shows the tutor what she enjoyed most in the passage. The tutor suggests to reflect on that section that the tutee is the most interested in her 250 word response. The tutor continues to read the passage and start to point out important details that would stand out in her response. What I noticed is that this session was mostly concerned on the HOC (high order priorities) of the tutee's assignment. The tutor wraps up his session and  begins to list numerous goals for the tutee to reach to as she finishes up her assignment once she gets home.
Overall, I enjoyed my first observation of the writing center here at Laguardia Community College I've learned so much in just one session!
