Boquet Response

Okay so for some reason this was really hard for me to get through. I don't know if it was her overly-wordy phrasing or just that I feel like I've read more about writing centers than I have about any other topic in the known universe, but my comprehension of Boquet is not as in depth as it probably should be.

However, I did seem to pull some understanding out of this. Boquet talks about the shift that is happening in education, and in turn, writing centers. Collaboration is rising in popularity, and is being used more and more in the tutoring set-up, as we have seen in most of the other readings. The power is moving, or maybe has moved, from the tutor to the student. In my opinion, a lot of this sounds like the whole trend in the world that is going on lately....you know, the whole "making students feel important, not being too firm or strict as a professor, red pens are mean" concept. I agree that collaboration is a great tool for learning, I guess in a cynical way I just think education is becoming too wishy-washy by coddling students. Okay I may be ranting a bit and going away from anything Boquet has said.....

I may just come back to this later on once we have discussed it more...
