In all honesty, I've never been much good at working with people. I can work pretty well with friends or people I know or have interacted with, but when it comes to working with strangers I act really shy and never ask the questions I need to ask and I get very anxious, so I didn't actually get much help from the conference. I usually work well with essays on my own, and the student had never read the books or talked to you about this project, so I had a better grasp on the situation than them. It may have been one of the most unhelpful attempts at essay writing I have ever had the unfortunate coincidence to be a part of. I think I would do much better if I were talking to someone who actually understood the project, or someone I knew. In the beginning I didn't really have any questions I needed answered, since I just hadn't thought much about the project to have questions, and if I had any they would not be something that student could have answered. There was not enough in my original prompt for it to be an "add or change", ill essentially build on the skeleton I built in the prompt. I may schedule an appointment with you on Friday with more written to see if that helps.
