3rd Tutoring

On my third tutoring session I was finally able to work with two students at once, and I must say that it's not as easy as it might seem. At first I was only given one student which I was used to because in the first two sessions I only worked with one student but then the second was assigned to me. I first started to work with the first student, so i told the second student to reread his essay and take note of any weaknesses his paper might have. The first student didn't have an actual draft but had created an outline in his notebook of how he wanted his essay to look, which I thought was great. He also had his introduction and his first body paragraph written down in his notebook. I saw his introduction was good, he had a clear thesis and presented the arguments well. His first body paragraph was the one that needed to be expanded a little bit more so I told him to do that while I worked with the second student. When I started to work with the second student, it was a little harder for me, the student made it seem like he knew what he was doing and didn't want my help. As I read through his paper out loud with him I noticed that he didn't have a clear thesis or a thesis at all for that matter, I decided to keep reading and leave comments for last. As we go into the body paragraphs his in text citation was incorrect and made him mark those specific in text citations and told him that we had to work on that after we finished reading.
