Main Points:
Writers and coaches often have very different ideas about how a session should go, which leads to problems. Writers may believe that coaches are just there for quick proofreading, or may believe that coaches will not be able to help them due to level in school or major. Coaches may focus too much on the bad points, believing that that’s the best way to effect change. No matter what is wrong in these sessions, they always end with the writer unhappy.
What I Got:
I really, honestly didn’t get much out of this. If I wanted to know what a bad, hostile session was like, I’d just spend a session with one of the more aggravating people who come into this center. Nothing was explained and I have no clue what I was meant to take out of this that I didn’t already know.
Questions:
-How should Sally have worked with Portia? From what I see, the problem was entirely with Portia in this scenario and the article barely explains anything.
A Beginning Coach Should Know:
Since this doesn’t explain a single thing clearly, it’s probably not very useful to a beginning coach, as they will not have the experience with these kind of sessions to really be able to sit and analyze it.
Best For:
People who can understand it, which I can’t and I don’t think a beginning coach would either.
