Today was my first meeting with Becky! First we reviewed the course syllabus and I explained the demands of the course.
We discussed for a bit which direction she may want to go for her second research paper. Her ideas were vague, so I posed a series of questions for her to think about, and she will get back to me next week.
Lastly, I got to know about her personal writing process, habits, and goals for the semester. She expressed difficulty with getting her ideas onto paper. She explained how she starts a paper as soon as it is assigned, but does not finish it until right before the deadline. She is in the habit of going through multiple drafts. Overall, she would like to work this semester on feeling more comfortable and confident about her writing. I am looking forward to working with her!
