Im writing my blogs again because i want to make sure i have solid notes for my final project and not have to reread all the chapters.

A writing center is a place for students to come and learn how to write. Not only they can come up with ideas for a strong paper, but be tutored in the process of writing, so that eventually they can write by themselves. It is also a place for the student to learn to fix their mistakes, and also do some critical thinking. Tutors have many different ways of helping students. However, they should not give false praise (cheerleading), go through a paper and correct all the errors themselves, or give the student all the ideas, and defiantly NOT write the paper, or alot of the paper, for the student. A tutor should work side by side their student, not as a teacher or someone of authority. It is the students paper, not the tutors. Asking constructive questions leads to critical thinking and the answers the tutor wants. Tutor does not need to be a expert, just needs to ask the correct questions.
