10-31 in class

Whom could I talk to who could provide me with information that has factness about this question?

Staff members at the writing center are one group of people that would provide factness about the issue. They could explain why they use different strategies when working with students. Students who actually use the writing center are another group of people that I could interview to provide factness. Do they find the approach taken by the staff at the writing center different than the approach taken by professors in class? What strategies used at the writing center are helpful? What strategies aren't helpful? It might also be useful to interview English professors working with freshman or struggling writers at the college level. Do they see improvments in writing when students visit the writing center? Are there situations where they feel the writing center is more helpful than it is in other situations? (would there be a reason not to have a student seek help outside the classroom?)



What could I read that would provide me with information that has factness about this question?

Other than searching for interviews/testimonials from students, writing center employees, or professors that aren't available for me to interview directly I don't know if there is a lot of material which relates to "factness" that I could read. I have a feeling that more of the information that I will read will fall under the term fact as opposed to "factness". If I'm not quite understanding the definition or the question please let me know.




What else could I do besides talk to people and read to acquire information or factness about this question? (Jolliffe 75)

I'm not feeling particularly creative. I'm not sure how to answer this question. I talked to Maria and she mentioned she might do some type of survey of peers. I don't want to promise that I'll do a survey (I'm usually pretty unreliable about putting them together) but if I really found it necessary I suppose I could ask peers if they'd ever used writing centers and what their experience was? I could create some different type of survey for staff members at the writing center but I'm really not 100% sure what I'd ask.
