Small Changes and Brown Nosing
I guess it is back to the books and the blogs now that the Thanksgiving break is over. Over the break I overstuffed my belly and fasted with my mind. I guess now that I am a little over weight and probably a little dumber I should changes my ways of living, for the next two weeks at least.
As far as changes in the writing center go, the only main change that I see a need for is changing the hours we work. In our methods for tutoring writers class we have experienced first hand the inconvenience of having to work from the top of the hour to the top of the next. Most days we were not able to start class even closely on time, or if we did, tutors missed out on important instruction just because they were doing the very job the class is for.
I also kind of like the idea of being able to change the schedule more than once in a semester. For those tutors who may work other jobs this might be beneficial because, though the writing center job is pretty stable in that we know when and where we work all the time, other jobs we may be working might not be and might make changes on us unexpectedly. This change may not need to be realized based on the fact that we have awesome tutors who are always willing to pick up someone else's hours.
Besides those little ideas, I do not have any other suggestions. I love my job and I think I am getting better and am progressing, not in leaps and bounds, but little by little. I owe a great deal of my progress as a tutor to Sylvia and Scott. I don't say much in class but I want to let you guys know that I really appreciate what you have taught me this last semester. (Though I meant what I just said I am hoping to get a little break on my bibliographic essay because of it.)
