Library Observation

When I first saw the library WC that was a big visual difference. The WC in Bessey is closed environment with more comforts, for both the client and consultant. In Bessey there is water, coffee, tea, and candy. In the Library there is only the tyranny of Sparty's and 8 dollar candy bars.

On a more serious note the sessions and feel of the library are very different. There is more of a panicky feel, for whatever reason. The sessions are different because there isn't a copier and you have to share the paper with the client. And the 30 minuet sessions are very short... almost half the time of a session at Bessey!

The session I obsereved was of an ESL student wanting to work on grammer. The consulatant begun the session as normal asking the client to read the paper aloud. As the client read the paper aloud, the consultant would stop when grammer was incorrect and try and give the best explantion of the problem. As time continued when the clinet saw a series of mistakes he would devoute some time to figure out a way to explain it to the client. The consultant was not able to finish the whole paper, but I thought given the time constraint and the length of the paper, they gave them a great stragey for the rest of the paper.
