Paper, Paper, Paper.

I feel like I haven't written a blog in a while!
(Spring break always messes me up)

Anyways, I really enjoyed writing the paper about how a student composes. It seemed really interesting to me because I am also a journalism student. I love doing interviews, and I liked the finished product of the student I interviewed. When I get to do an interview and write a paper, I feel like a real writer/ reporter. This paper taught me a lot about how similarly and differently other students prefer their writing environments, and other preferences they may have that help them to achieve success.
One of the main things I learned while writing this paper and reporting on another student writing their paper, was that if you don't understand an assignment, before you opt to get tutoring, maybe you should ask the professor first if they can give you more information on the paper. While tutors can help the student better identify with the assignment, the professors are the ones who can really tell you what they mean and how they expect you to write your paper for them.
Pretty much what I decided is that it's never a bad thing to ask for help. Even if you have to ask the professor, and then approach the tutoring center, you will feel more confident when it gets down to really time to write the paper!
