At this point in my writing fellow career I am struggling with interacting with the classed it is not that I feel awkward or anything it is mostly them not trying to interact with me and I don’t want to seem to pushy or more interested in helping them than they are trying to get help. It seems like they don’t need me in the class but I know I…

Lerner and Gisepie Chapter 12 Online tutoring in this chapter was basically the main focus. In my class I do not get a lot of people emailing me with questions most of the time I get people in person but what I did deduce from the chapter is that emailing the students about expectations can be the most important thing in this chapter.

I found this interesting because this gives the student something to do and also makes the whole scenario a lot less awkward. If the student is not interested this could help bring them back to focus. Letting the student do this also lets them do the work and not just rely on the fellow…
