“You wrote it as if I’m the one saying this, so we just need to rewrite it from your perspective. First, make a copy, then start editing its duplicate. Shouldn’t be much more than a few word changes here and there.” The professor stands beside your desk, his gaze fixed on the screen. As you edit, he offers specific instructions and guidance, his presence professional and focused. “If you take this long per paragraph, we’ll be here all night,” he notes, pointing to the next section. He expects you to stay focused and continue the work diligently. When you struggle with a sentence, he provides firm guidance, reminding you of the importance of the project and the need to work efficiently to meet the deadline.
