After I saw the videos about the writing center. I learned that tutors need to keep their professionalism. When the student was texting while he was reading the research, I noticed that the tutor was irritated by the student because she was not focused. I think there should be a sign in the writing center with cellphones policy. The tutor can always remind the student about the cell policy before working with the paper. A lost session in the writing center happens when there is disagreement between the student and the tutor. Flirting, friendship and cellphones are also part of the lost session.
The second video showed us, that if the student is not happy with the teacher and complains about her with the tutor, and the tutor just tries to calm him down by saying is ok this could also be a lost session. Another session lost is when the student wants the answer from the tutor or said that he/she don't understand the work.
The third video was about plagiarism, the tutor was suppose to explain the student that plagiarism in school is not okay and she can get in trouble if she hands in the paper. There are many students that don't know about plagiarism and I think this should be taught in high school. I was just like the student on the video, I never knew about plagiarism until I made it to college and done my own research about it. When a person tries to correct me in any of my papers I normally get sensitive because I am a bilingual student. I get confused with both languages and tend to translated words when I don't understand. So I feel horrible when a person tells me that I do not make sense on some sentences or that I need to improved my grammar , I feel that I come to school for no reason. I don't memorize thing I always forget so that's one of the reasons why I feel defensive.
