Coach B
Student B
Problem: student B (grad level history) needs to improve writing.
had assignment sheet, coach B asked student B for a summary of her paper.
picked a side because it's an argumentative paper.
read through paper, coach B moved closer to student.
coach B is in revolving chair spinning side to side and moves a lot.
asked a lot of questions (questions much of student B's wording)
student B came into center with a loaded backpack and didn't take her stuff out until asked to do so by coach B
coach B offered solutions to student B's grammatical errors and sentence structure.
student B seemed defensive of her paper (perhaps slightly offended by coach B's approach)
Coach B had student write on her own paper while reading through it.
Coach B approached his critique of the paper in a very blunt way.
student B was very soft spoken while coach B was more vocal and animated
coach B suggested tossing the paper and starting over.
student B does not have to rewrite paper (professor isn't accepting it)
began working on another paper she could revise
needs to indent at beginning of paragraphs.
student B begins reading
-coach b: what is civil religion?
-student B does not know
student b does not know how to paraphrase
coach b kept saying her did not know what student b needed help with. student b didn't seem to understand what she needed help with either.
student B needs to do more research
new appointment after meeting with professors.
