Writing Center Work
Overview of ENG 395: Writing Center Internship
Taken from UMaine's course catalogue description:
"An advanced course in writing and collaborative learning. Students first experience collaborative work in essay writing, critical reading of peers' essays, and rigorous practice in written and oral criticism. They participate in supervised tutoring in the English Department's writing center."
During the fall 2023 semester, we:
Engaged in practice tutoring sessions with peers and other Writing Center tutors
Collaborated to create and submit a workshop proposal for a MCELA conference
Practiced writing professional term and tutoring philosophy papers
Analyzed our own writing within overarching contexts through a critical reflection paper
Practiced communication and public speaking skills through class discussion and presentation
Learned elements of visual design to create infographics (and our websites)
Below you'll find some of the work from my Writing Center internship! In our experimentation and in-depth analysis of citations, you'll also notice that my work will alternate between variations of MLA, APA, and Chicago styles.
