❀ Writing Center Internship ❀

ENG 395 is an internship course taken by all UMaine Writing Center tutors to prepare us for tutoring. In this class, we covered a vast amount of material and strategies to guide us in becoming the best tutors we can be including tutoring strategies and best practices, open discussions and reflections on writing, mock tutoring, working with mentors, and composing some writing of our own. Two pieces we focused on during this internship were our term papers and our critical reflections, both of which I have linked below. We also created presentations summarizing our experiences in this class, which I've also included below.
