The reading "Embracing Learning Differences: Spreading the Word to Writing Centers and Beyond," talks about being aware of the different needs that people have in the writing center. She addresses that some of these needs can be learning disabilities, ADHD, or dyslexia. A tutor needs to understand these individuals learn differently which Is perfectly okay. It is encouraged for tutors to learn how to accommodate these different needs. You want to make sure the student feels supported in these times. My reflection on this reading is it feels very important and personal to me. I have ADHD as well as some learning disabilities. People often hear that and assume you are not as capable as students without these things. That is not the case we just learn differently. I think it's great if tutors understand how to approach those types of students. I do not have a question about this article, I just really enjoyed this reading because I connected to it.

Chapter 6, Impact of AI on Writing and Tutoring Practices, talks about how AI is used by many students nowadays. AI can be used for grammar checks such as spelling and be helpful. Although that is helpful it can cause a negative outcome for writers as well. These risks can include students depending too much on AI and a lack of creativity. Students can get lazy and just use AI to do their work instead of coming up with their own creative ideas. AI should be taught by tutors to be a tool instead of a thing that does work for you. My reflection on this reading is that AI does take away creativity. It can make students not want to do their own work when they see how easy and smart AI seems to be. Although AI Is not always accurate and students should be aware of that. My question that I have is how can we teach students to not rely so heavily on AI?
