Writing Center Shadowing Visit #1

I have chosen this semester to shadow a writing consultant on Sunday. Sunday is a bit atypical as we do not meet in the writing center, rather, we meet in the library. I find this to be interesting having just finished chapters 1-3 in the Bedford Writing Tutor guide as they discuss the importance of the workplace. Personally, I find the writing center to be a much better atmosphere. However, today the writer was a no-show. I found out that when this happens on Sunday, that we can just write on the whiteboard near the entrance that there is "walk-in" hours for editing papers from say 5-6. But even this did not yield any writers. I anxiously await next week in order to gain some valuable experience.

    Sarah,
    That is interesting to know--that all Sunday meetings are in the library And that you open up the hour if the writer doesn't show up. It will be interesting to observe the different strategies involved with walk-ins vs. consultation where you have seen the paper before hand.
