Use studio language to respond to each scenerio as a facilitator.

     A student shows up saying he has no work for the session.
     Would you like to go over anything you've done that you don't completely understand? Asking the student if he needs help even though he has no assignment. That way he stays up to date in his work and practices anything he or she has doubts about in a safe environment.
     A student says she wants to drop out of the program because she says she is stressed out.
     Can you tell me why you feel this way? Prompting the student to express some of the reasons for her dilemma and at the same time release some of the stress.
     A student is unhappy with a grade, but does not feel confident or comfortable with approaching a professor.
     Ask the student what do you think would happen if you approached the professor? Acknowledging his or her feelings and working through their fear or intimidation. By reinforcing the fact that professors are there to help.
     A student wants to review his entire paper, but you know there is not enough time to work on the entire paper.
     Ask what are the areas that are giving you the most trouble and help the student correct those errors.
     A student is very pleased with her paper, but the facilitator sees glaring areas for improvement.
     Ask the student how can this be done better and go through the paper with them.
     A student feels he does not need any help from the group.
     ask the student if its possible that they missed something on the paper and if they would not mind if the other students went over it and give their opinions.
