Writing Center Videos

       Based on the writing center videos, what makes a tutorial successful is having the students leave the session satisfy and with a positive view of the session. A tutor can notice that a tutorial was successful by seeing a change in the student; the student is less frustrated, and is headed on the right track, understanding what needs to be done with their assignments. 
       As we begin our observations, we will be looking for the methods and strategies used by the tutor, for example we will be keeping an eye on what’s the main focus of the session, if it’s Low-Order Concerns or High Order Concerns. We will also be observing the posture, tone, and body language of both the tutor and the student and hopefully feel the vibe of the session to be a calm one. We will be observing the tutor, to see his/her reactions to frustrated students, and how they react and try to help students feel less anxious.
