Shadowing session 11/12/2010.

Today's session was a bit quiet. My consultant was supposed to have two people come in today but one of the appointments had been made all the way back in September. Not surprisingly, the girl who made the appointment did not show up. Also, the student who was supposed to show up at 11:00 AM also did not show up. It seems to me that sometimes people make appointments at the writing center anticipating that they will need help on a future paper. However, this does not seem to be a very effective way of setting up an appointment because not only do you waste the consultants time but you also force yourself to receive help on a paper that you may not have needed any help on. In any case, it is always encouraged to come in for help even though the paper might be flawless, as a second opinion on the writing can never hurt.
