Tutoring Section 3 with Mitchell Hudson
Date/Time: March 17, 2016/ 10:50 a.m.-11:50 a.m.
Location: CIES
Topic/Skill: Grammar/ How to avoid run-on sentences and using precise language
Feedback provided to tutee: I learned how to avoid run-on sentences by practicing exercise with Mitchell. Run-on sentences are a
sentence with at least two independent clauses (complete thoughts) which are
forced together instead of being properly connected. Using precise language is
also effective methods to avoid run-on sentences. A vague sentence is
“Karen is wearing boots of the most extremely high quality in the world.” A
precise sentence is “Karen is wearing very nice boots.”
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I
learned that period, comma and semi-colon are crucial in the sentences.
Examples are “I like big families. When I get older, I want to have a big
family.” “We usually leave at 11:00, but today we are leaving at 10:30.” And “I
don’t want much for Christmas; just some chocolates and a little toy car.”
