My tutee EY asked me to help her friends' writing, so I met them. Since they were accepted at FSU as master and phD students, so I didn't really think that they needed me. Their writing was excellent, however; they were translated Korean style. It was hard for me to correct them because I couldn't think of those words in English.
After we corrected writings, I told them about my tricks (skills?) so that they could try out later when they write papers or something.
EY also asked me how to take notes and summarize. Luckily, I had something from Felicia, so I gave her this:
-Scan the text for structure. Subheadings or sections will often highlight
important information that should be included in a summary.
-Read the text all the way through once. Then read it again paragraph by paragraph,
summarizing each paragraph as you go orally; If you are unable to summarize the
paragraph, go back and reread it.
-Read the text a third time and take notes using the Cornell
method.
-Make a list of the important ideas from the text in
sentence form.
She told me that she doesn't like Cornell method when she had to take notes. she said it took more time and she got confused by doing it. I told her to use her own way to take notes because the Cornell method didn't seem to match with EY, and I didn't think that it would be a great idea for her to practice it because it may be a time consuming to do it.
