Symposium peer tutoring session

I feel like I benefitted greatly from the peer tutoring session held with my classmates Maggie and Stephanie regarding my symposium essay. They helped me to weed out unnecessary dialouge, and pointed out when a specific line didn't sound like the writer I was assigning it to. Maggie and Stephanie helped my paper to adhere a more natural dialouge flow and corrected me when my ideas about some of the facts (particularly about Lundsford) were a bit off. I was having a more difficult time providing valid recommendations concerning their papers. Being inexperienced in symposium-like papers, I found it astoundingly difficult to find helpful suggestions to make. However, after listening to their comments I found it a bit easier to pick out problematic points in this type of writing. Hopefully, if faced with a symposium paper while working at the writing center, I will recall the same lessons I learned today.
