The videos

I really liked the videos. It begins with the teacher having his students sits in groups of 3 and 1 person is held responsible for the groups to work smoothly. The teacher then goes over the students notes and asks them to communicate to each other one-on-one and explain how the class’s note taking policy works.

In the second video, we see how the teacher who acts like a consultant, handles a student who is extremely careless. This student doesn’t even think of the center as a grammar revise shop, but actually comes to the center as a place where consultants put in time and effort to write the students paper for them. At first, the way this student was handled impressed me … Yes, this kid needed to be scolded and told that he cannot take the center for granted. We are not is paid servants who will write his essay for him. I also agreed with the consultant taking the directive approach, informing the student that he will not write the thesis for the students and then making it clear that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated again. But, I felt bad that in the end, the consultant did not help the student just because he did not have a book. If nothing else, I feel that the consultant should have taken time to at least help the student plan his goals for this paper, so he could return to the center with a write piece promptly.
