Bedford 3-4

So this book is pretty boring. I've never tutored or been in a tutoring center, but I feel like the information in Chapter 3 is just common sense. Chapter 4 had some good information in it ( although still boring ). 

I like that it broke the tutoring process into different scenarios like prewriting and sentence-level revisions. It gave some good approaches to these situations and things you can do to help out the student. I've never done the clustering technique but it seems like it would be a very good place to start prewriting. I think it can really help to get the student focused on what he/she would like to write about and the main points that he/she would like to write about. I also thought the freewriting exercise was a good idea. I try to use this technique when I begin a paper so that I get all my thoughts and questions about my topic down. I thought the suggestions for coping with a long paper were good. Long papers are always a pain to write. 

Okay, enough random rambling.
