I believe, in relation to the conversations had between all the teachers and students in this article, that this method of questing and answering these writing concepts that the student doesn't understand can help them overall talk through there lack of understanding and help them clarify what they might what to look into moving forward.

Throughout the conversation, the teacher is effective in pushing the student along and helping the student work through what they think needs improving as far as their writing. Towards the end of the conversation, the teacher assists the student by asking thoughtful questions that leaves the student with a place to start editing her written work.

After reading the conversation between the student and the teacher, I agree with this sentence and how, throughout the conversation, the teacher did give the student enough time to explain things for themselves and work towards a better paper. Instead, the teacher citied mostly what they though was wrong or needed to be change and didn't help the student work through those problems.

I appreciate how the teacher is being very transparent with the student and constantly asking for their opinion with these open ended questions.

This paragraph mainly sets up the importance of an agenda during these meetings and how crucial it is, both the consultant and the student, to understand what is needing to be accomplished during this meeting.

Similar to the talks we had in training, there is not exactly a correctly rubric to follow when responding to every student. A knowledgeable consultant must be adaptable and be able to quickly understand the wants and needs of the students who are coming to them and how they can best fill those requirements.
