Writing Center Experience

I found my writing center experience to be both rewarding and unfavorable. At first, I established the room itself to be too small and open. I felt exposed, as if everyone was listening in on my conversation with the tutor. I did not take with me any sort of rough draft. All I brought was the assignment and my thematic strand located in the Shakespeare concordance. I was having difficulty with how I would actually embark writing my paper. I had so many ideas running through my head. I could not keep to one specific argument. I explained my issue to the tutor. I started to become frustrated with the way he/she kept repeating my questions back to me. At one point, the tutor actually took a phone call during my appointment. Feeling rushed, I became angry at the situation. Overall I found the experience to be useful. The tutor helped me to pick one argument and stay focused. I accomplished what I had come for. The conversation gave me the courage to stick to one topic. My tutor expressed how he or she felt my argument was clear and concise. What mattered in the comments was if my tutor understood what I was aiming for and trying to articulate. I was able to get feedback on my central idea for the paper.

Since I had nothing to begin with I would not say I revised anything. I was able to get something more useful than that. By starting the paper off with a solid argument in my head I was able to fixate greatly on connecting data from The Twelfth Night with my theme. I filtered my ideas to create a thesis that made sense. I feel I would have not been as successful with my paper unless I had gone to the writing center. I approached my paper with ease and less anxiety. I definitely recommend the writing center. The writer is able to receive the feedback they require to properly execute their paper.
