I found this article very helpful, as I am just reaching the research unit for my rhetoric class. Under the section, "Conducting a Literature Review," I appreciated the passage's emphasis on becoming an "expert" on your topic, because often I feel that students have an urge to go about a "3 sources and done" method -- searching for the minimum requirement of sources that pass a quality test provided by a professor. I think like the article mentioned, I'm going to try to sell this notion to my students from the angle of additional research from extensive literary review being valuable to them in that it can "show the gaps that your research will fill."

MARK my words: WLN Review

Beckwith, Jennifer. "Tutors' Column: 'My Idea of the Writing Center: Through the Eyes of a Client Turned Consultant.'" Writing Lab Newsletter 41, no. 4-5 (January/February 2017): 26-29. Jennifer, who I presume was an undergraduate student and tutor at Worcester State in Massachusetts, offers a very positive and insightful take on her experiences as a student and as an instructor in the same Writer's Center. Here are some bullet point highlights: "...[A Writing Center is] simply a place to progress." As a student, Jennifer assumed a tutor was an editing service, a place from where she could emerge with a finished paper. "...My duty as a writing consultant is to honor the student's writing." I really like the title of writing consultant. "Tutor" has never felt right to me. "...[Ask] them outright what they are struggling with the most." I'll be putting this to practice in about ten minutes. Questions li...

 One of the frustrations with asynchronous tutoring (discussed in the Bedford) that I encounter regularly is the gap between question and response; for example, my students have a paper due tonight and I am sure at least one will try to have me review a draft at the last minute. What I have found is that the students who come into drop-in hours to discuss their drafts are more likely to communicate any issues they have with the course, as well as questions that they didn't know how to ask in the draft. I have to carefully craft my responses to ensure that there is no misunderstanding. However, having the distance of digital send-and-respond also has its downsides. I am certainly guilty of accidentally saying "This looks good" and regretting it in the next minute, which as our reading reminds us may lead the student to assume a particular grade. Also, my students seem reluctant to come in to go over work in person, which I imagine is due to both schedule conflicts and inse...

I find that working with a student from a very different discipline than mine is some of the most rewarding work I do at the Writing Center. One field that I particularly enjoy is medicine. On a personal level, I happen to get along with physicians and have several friends in that profession. And even though I am acquainted with some of the basic tenets of the science, my knowledge is nowhere near sufficient to engage academically with the problems I was presented by students. Nevertheless, it is always interesting and rewarding to ask the student about the subject they bring, and being receptive, I suppose, helps the student feel confident and assertive about what they want. One particular tutee was a nursing student who brought in various forms for a clinical study that she was translating into spanish. Since these forms were aimed at non-technical readers or participants, I had little trouble interpreting what she wanted to have the form say at various points. As some of my classm...
