1. "This is a redneck argument!"
-If the tutor had shared his background with the student who wrote the paper, how would their session have been different? Would that make the student more willing to open up and think in broader terms, or would they feel attacked and embarrassed? Would sharing a tutors personal connection with the argument even be ethical?
2. "Reflections on Teacher Comments"
-Is there really a harm in tutors commenting on professor's comments? What is that harm, and is there any potential good that could come out of commenting on professor's comments?
3. "How to Make Sentences Clear and Concise"
-After reading this, I realize that using too many prepositions is a weakness of mine. So, ow many prepositions is too many?
4. HK ch 5
-Why isn't there a standardized system of English grammar or standard guidelines for academic writing? What does the fact that there isn't tell us about the English language and academic writing?
5. Bedford Guide Ch 4
-So far all the readings we have done have told us what to do with students who are having grammatical problems in their papers. But what about students who just can't get it even after having corrected their mistake multiple times? Do you refer them to their professor or is it your job to work with them until they "get it"?
