Description
A client lumbers through the writing center's doors, waves her draft in the air, and cries out, "I need help with my commas!" As much as writing centers pride themselves on being more than "grammar garages" (Waldo 415), many students--like this one--still seek out labs expressly for help with editing. Such lowered-ordered concerns are usually not a top priority in tutorials; nonetheless, consultants should receive training in grammar, usage, and punctuation so they will feel comfortable and secure handling clients' editing questions. How, then, can directors discover what grammatical concerns need attention in training? I turned to the consultants themselves, who, by being in the trenches, know best what grammatical problems worry them the most.
