Tutoring Nicole 16

Today was my last session meeting with Veronika!  She was a little bit better than Monday's session as it is half way through finals week.  Once she turns in her last paper she will be done for the semester.  The paper was on topic and covered all of the areas requested in the paper requirements.  That's a good feat for Veronika.  It means she took the time to read through and understand the directions, clarifying any parts she may have been unsure off.  Her vowel usage was much better - I think that may have been due to the assistance of spell check.  There were some word choices that did not fit.  This, I'm assuming, was because she chose synonyms not fully aware of the slight differences in the words or how to use the appropriate tense.  A seven page paper could not have been easy for her to write so I was sure to provide plenty of positive reinforcement and encouragement throughout the editing process.  Veronika is excited to turn the paper in later tonight.  I asked her to let me know how she ends up doing on the paper.  Working with Veronika was good.  She challenged me in new areas and certainly required me to think of different teaching methods.
