draft of mt research plan (blog 17)

Statement of purpose:
I hope to dissect the differences that students according to their grade level come to the writing center.

Detailed statement of research question: Does a students academic level determine what they go to the writing center for?


Information to gather: Detailed analysis of what the tutor found problems with in a students work, the grade level of student, and what the student thinks they need help with.

Preliminary list of sources:
Persons in Process by Anne Herrington and Marcia Curtis
observation of students


Plan for gathering information:
Asking the student why they came to the writing center for, trying to see what their writing problems are, and seeing if a senior student comes to the writing center for the same reason as a freshman student.
