Writing Center

I made it to the writing center for my second observation. For the most part the session went very similar to the other session I observed. I was a little disappointed because I was hoping to learn new skills from the tutuor, but in truth the session was a little boring. The student came in with an assignment for foundations that asked her to explain a religion. She chose the Episcopalian religion, and the paper became less and less interesting as the tutor read on. It was strictly a fact based paper, so she needed help with organization and flow. The paper sounded more like a book report than an essay; I'm not sure if she wasn't following directions (she didn't have her assignment paper with her) or if her Foundations teacher was just looking for a list of facts about Episcopalians.
Either way, it was a very short session because there was little to correct on the paper. During my last session, I observed Mike; he was able to make helpful suggestions about the writer's analysis and word choice, however, with the type of paper the writer brought in for this session, I don't believe there was really much advice to give.
The tutor explained how not to repeat certain adjectives and nouns, but other than that, there was little else to the session. Other than the issues my tutor covered with the student, I wasn't able to think of anything else that should have been touched upon. The student kept explaining that the numerous points she had in the paper needed to be covered in the three pages, so there was little room for expansion; it seemed the student had expanded every way possible without going over her page limit. It was a strange paper to edit, because, other than mistakes in grammar and word choice, there was little structure to the paper because it was so fact based.
I was wondering if the Writing Center gets a lot of papers like this. I assume that there is always something to correct on a persons paper, as there was with this one, however, with such little information to work with and absolutely no analysis, I could see how this type of setting would be difficult for a tutor.
