Writing Center Experience

      The writing center in the second semester was a convenient tool for me. I used the writing center to help me with my research paper, which was a challenge for me because of my trouble with researching topic and writing a lengthy response to it. When I first went to the writing center, my research paper was plagued with grammatical errors and awful word choices. I was anxious about my paper when I got there because I was worried that the paper was not good enough, I was freaking out that it was not acceptable by the rubric and that I would get an awful grade. I met with Mason and he really helped me with organizing the paper and figuring out where to put certain arguments and responses. Our main topic when we sat down to discuss the research paper was where could I add more responses to the arguments I pulled from the articles. Mason helped me figure out where to put these responses and how to remember where to put the responses heading forward in writing. I used the meeting to move my piece forward by using the tools Mason showed me and going through the paper and using them.
