This week we are spotlighting a special group of tutors: the spring 2019 UA Writing Center interns. In order to work at the Center, undergraduate students apply to take our internship course, English 317. In the first half of the semester, they reflect on their own writing process, learn about research on writing, and conduct observations in the Center. By the second half of the semester, they are conducting tutorials of their own, with mentoring and support from experienced tutors. This semester we have ten new interns at the University Writing Center (First row, left to right: Emily, Rachael, Rebekah, and Marie. Second row, left to right: Derrick, Michelle, Tori, Lena, Shannon, and Katelyn.) Their majors include English, Biology, Studio Art, Math, French, Communicative Disorders, and New College (studies in political discourse). Their careers goals include the teaching of English, translation/interpreting, speech pathology, law, writing/data analysis, art/illustration, and veterinary practice, among other things. When asked why they are taking the practicum course, the interns shared a variety of motives and goals. For Emily, who wants to teach English in a foreign country, the class has given her an opportunity to learn more about working with ESL students. Michelle wanted to learn “how we talk about writing,” while Katelyn and Shannon were hoping to sharpen their own writing skills. Still others simply enjoy helping students learn. As a group, the interns are prolific writers and readers. Many of them love Southern gothic novels, fantasy literature, graphic novels, the Harry Potter series, and Stephen King (though, as Lena puts it, “never at night!”) Some of their favorite books include A Song of Ice and Fire (Martin), In Cold Blood (Capote), Picture of Dorian Grey (Wilde), Jane Eyre (Bronte), The Outsiders (Hinton), Leaves of Grass (Whitman), and The Time Quintet (L’engle). We asked the interns to share what they have learned over the last fourteen weeks. Michelle says: “Everyone has a different method of writing-- it’s all about finding what works for you.” Shannon has learned that “People often think that they are much worse writers than they are” while Rachael tells clients that “You don’t need to be an expert on everything- that’s what Google is for.” Finally, we asked the tutors what advice they would give to students coming to the Center for the first time. Tori advises students to remember that the time is yours; tutors will have plenty of suggestions, but they want to know what YOU want to talk about. Marie adds that “coming to the Center with nothing” (no draft) is “just as fun and acceptable as coming in with an entire essay already written.” Rachael says: “Don’t apologize for your writing!” And Derrick adds: “Have confidence in what you’ve created. There is no such thing as bad writing!” After finishing the practicum, the interns will be eligible to work at the Center in the fall. We hope you will have a chance to work with these stellar new tutors, whether on your personal, professional, or creative writing.
