Last Reflection

This is all of the wonderful feedback I received and why I will use it:

“I would personally phrase some questions differently; instead of “frustrations” maybe ‘are your experiences with students who are required to be in the RWC different from the typical student?”

I will absolutely use this advice because frustration definitely adds a negative connotation that I don’t want.

“Focus on how to improve the morale of students rather than why.”

I will use this advice because that is, after all, what tutoring is all about. Following this advice will make my project more helpful for tutors in the future.

“I would do less questions because 20 questions will take a lot of time. You can combine some!”

I will absolutely follow this advice because many of those questions were repetitive.

“Interview was really thorough-would you interview in person or over email?”

As previously mentioned, I will condense the interview, and they will be in person.

“I would define ‘comfortable.’ How exactly do you want these students to feel? I would also narrow down the # of interview questions. The large # might be a little overwhelming. “

I will follow this advice because comfortable is a very important, and vague word that must be defined in my project.

“I would break down my paper the same way your power point was organized.”

This is wonderful advice because that will help me immensely with the structure of my paper.

“If it were mine I’d be cautious of subjective evidence. Stick to your data and 1^st hand experience.”

This advice is fantastic and I will keep it in mind.

“Maybe include a question about how often tutors actually see required students. “

I will include this question.

“You have a lot of questions…how long are your interviews going to be? Maybe consider condensing the questions?”

As mentioned earlier, the interview will definitely be condensed.

“Interview-it’s a lot of questions.”

“I feel as though the interview questions may be a bit much and because there are so many they will be too broad.”

I will revise them.

“I feel like a lot of this data relies on feeling-might be hard to quantify.”

“If it were mine, I’d use observations instead of interviews, as tutors might be biased in their responses.”

Thank you everyone for all the great feedback!
