The class talked about taking notes that were objective. We shouldn't take notes that support our assumption, rather we should write from a nuetral stand-point only what we see and hear. We also discussed tutoring to ESL students. The importance of agenda setting (who sets, the tutor or student), domain knowledge, and tutoring technique were discussed in regards to ESL tutoring.
