what to work on in a session

[Michael Alle Mccord <writing@unix1.sncc.lsu.edu>]

For what it's worth, I often begin a session by asking the student if 
s/he has any problems with which s/he wants to deal first. If we can 
tackle those, 
I go on to things that s/he may not have noticed or of which s/he was 
unaware. Very often the hidden problems relate to the known ones, and 
including both in the dialogue allows us to concentrate on the student's 
questions while expanding the playing field as it were.
