Spring break is supposed to be a time for students to relax and enjoy a week or two off from the monotony and stress of school. Unfortunately, some teachers do not see it that way and choose to assign homework anyway. One student, Ken, came in for help on a monstrous essay that his teacher had assigned him over his spring break.
Not only was this paper assigned over spring break, but the prompt was difficult and vague. On top of that, Ken’s teacher told him that the grade for this paper would be put into the grade book forty times. This caused Ken a lot of stress. Ken and his tutors Charlsey and Laura brainstormed ideas for his thesis and concepts he could use for his supporting arguments. The group session was very helpful because the three were able to bounce ideas off each other. After Ken had a clear plan for his essay, he was able to draft an outline and have it looked over before he went home to find concrete details and develop his arguments.
After taking a few days to flesh out his essay, Ken brought it back to revise and fine tune it with his tutor Richard. They worked through the complicated topic to ensure that Ken did not have any logical fallacies in his arguments. Richard read through the essay to make sure that Ken did not make any grammatical mistakes. After hours slaving over his essay, Ken finally had a finished product he was very happy with, and could enjoy the rest of his now stress-free spring break.
