Through out my time in the writing center I have learned a lot, not only in my writing but in other peoples writing. First thing that I noticed about myself is that if I am not focus or not really reading the sentence I will read words that are not there and miss that the person has not actually written it. Another thing for myself is that now in my writing I do not use "this" or "that" I explain what this is. Like if I were to say "this is really important" I now say "it is important that we all take time to proof read." I am still working on this but the use of a comma I have become very familiar with and know how to use properly. After my time in the writing center I really do feel like I have become a better writer just because I have been able to pick up on little things I do that I did not notice and I able to stop myself and fix it. I also feel pretty amazing about my ability to revise a persons paper, going to be honest not going to find everything wrong with it but I can help out and make a difference. At the begging of the semester I was scared to revive a paper but now if someone were to ask me or I had to do it in class I feel a lot more confidant about it.

I have one more week left in the writing center. Though this week in the writing center I helped on thesis statement this girl had; it was 32 pages long. The only thing we did with it though was reread it to check for grammar error and just a fresh pair of eyes. This helped me out a lot because what I learned about myself is that even though the words are not there I tend to think they are and miss in their paper that the word is missing. Example: a sentence my read "I went to the store, and milk." but to me I will sometimes read it as "I went to the store, and got milk" even though "got" is not there. So for me how to fix that is slow down and take my time.

For my final portfolio the things I need to work on are revision strategies, sentence-level revision, active or passive voice, and plain and simple not being lazy and waiting for the last minute to write a paper.

This week in the writing center we had no one coming in again. We believe it was because it was the week after mid terms. I really do not like when we have no one come in because I do not get a chance to learn and become a better writer.

This is what I have for my flayer, the point is simple and anyone can understand it. This is for future people who if whatever project they work on and need a table this can be a easy accesses to anyone and they do not need to go through the hassle I went through. For having a animal my friend who works in the cub told me there is nothing that we really need to do, but I want to double check so I have one more place I need to go and I will put that part up when I am done. Though just in case I am not done in time here is what I have so far.

STEPS TO GET A TABLE:

1.     Go to scheduling.wsu.edu and login with your network ID (same as zzusis login)

2.     Choose the option “Reserve a Cub table” scroll down the page and then click “I understand the policies and want to receive a table”

a.     Then fill out the information given to you (i.e. date, time, and quick explanation). Then submit request.

3.     You will receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, letting you know if there is room.

a.     Take in consideration what is going on during the week you want a table. DO NOT wait till last second; a week in advance is good amount of time.

DAY OF THE TABLE:

1.     Go to the information desk and tell them “you need a table for (whatever group)”

a.     They will set up the table for you.

2.     At the end of the day pack up whatever is yours, and then let the information desk know you are done.

a.     They will also take the table down for you.

In the writing center this week I worked with a new style of citing that I am not use to. Chicago style of citing was very new to me so me and the tutor had a little harder time to make sue we were giving correct information. I felt very confident in myself this week aside from the citing, I help the student out with comma's  and giving very positive feed back.

 

In order to get a table for the cub or for the mall there are a few steps that you will need to do. First thing is to go to this website scheduling.wsu.edu and login in. There will be a login sign that you click on, and then you will have to use your network ID to login (the same ID you use to login with to zzuis). There will be a few different options, but the option you will use it the “Reserve a Cub table.” You are able to choose if you want the table on the cub or the mall, you fill in the time and dates you want the table and give a little description of what will be going on. Then you summit the information and will get a confirmation email letting you know that your spot is available and it is reserved for you. Then the day that you have the table you going into the Cub were the information desk is and let them know you are here with whatever organization or club to get a table and they will set the table up for you. Then at the end of the day when you are done with the table just pick everything up that is yours and let the information desk know you are done and they will take care of the table.

This is just a per rough draft of my thoughts. What I plan on doing it make this a instruction sheet for others to read and know how to get a table at the cub without any trouble. What else I need to do is find the information on what we need to do in order to have an animal, like what papers we may need to fill out or provide.

This last week in the writing center believe it or not no one came in during my hour. So what I did was work on my Garbaology paper for Anthropology, I had some for the tutors go over it and help me with organization. Also Beth you helped me out with the what I am going to focus on like the common themes, that help out so much so thank you.

Kaycee was not in class on Wednesday so she had all the paper work. For my part I had to go to the cub and ask about a table for out group and what we needed to do with having a dog. I went to the main office but no one was there, so after spring break I am going in to set up a time at least once a week.

Part One:

This week in the writing center I worked with Nina again, I really love working her because I learn a lot of technical writing that I really do not think of. We worked with this girl writing a paper for her English 101 class, and to be honest I had no idea what she was doing I was so confused. The concept she was working on was that statistic statement I still could not tell you what that was, I know it has something to do with explaining and because A happened B  happened. I also had a Anthropology paper I am working on and we took a look at the paper, the paper is still in a draft stage so I just had Nina help me with organizing the paper and my thoughts.

Part Two:

I would love to work with the fundrazing group I saw they have something planned and I just would love to be up front and helping out in the hands on kind of day.

Part One:

This last week in the writing center I did something a little different, a young lady came into the center wanting help with citation. The kid Joesph who I was working with did not know MLA format, and I am very familiar with MLA. Not only did I take charge and help the young lady out but I was also helping Joesph out and he was able to learn from me. What I did was help her with incite and how to give credit for a author like (Daskam, 9) then also told her easybib.com was a very helpful source for doing a work cited page.

Part Two:

With the PSA we do not know what second chance wants to get across to listeners. So we will wait to see if they have a new event coming up and go form there to help them out with a new PSA. Also with the cat VS. dog penny war, it would be really good if they did that and made a rule that for every silver coin points are taken off.

Part Three:

So what I did was I explained myself more with the "thing" and I changed up the verb to be more stronger. I am still struggling with verbs but this is a good start I feel for myself.

Also one thing that I really need to work on in general is not waiting till the last few days to write my paper, in college it’s a little hard with all the other work but since writing is difficult I want to work on not waiting till the last minute to write a paper. What I want to work on this is semester is my weak points and get better at them.

With writing, one thing that I really need to improve on in general is not waiting till the last few days to write my paper, in college it’s a little more difficult with all the other work but since writing is a struggle with me I want to work on not waiting till the last minute to write a paper. What I want to work on this is semester is my weak points and get better at them.
