shadowing 2

Last Wednesday, an upperclassman came for help on his paper. He hadn't emailed his paper ahead of time and it was due at the end of the week. He was cordial and respectively listened to the tutor's advice, but I could tell he didn't voluntarily come to the writing center. I could tell it was especially hard because for one the tutor had to read the whole paper on the spot, comprehend and then analyze the paper. And it was a pretty tough assignment with concepts that was definitely not common knowledge. I was really impressed with the way the tutor held her cool and did the best she could under the circumstance even with the kid's nonchalance.
