Spring 2022 Reflection Isha Devani June 6, 2022 Working at the WC has been a really great opportunity for me to learn more about my interest in tutoring. Not only this, but this experience has also helped me know how confident I can be in my ability to help others with their work. As Defoe […]
Multimodality Accommodation & Neurodivergence Andrew Johnson December 20, 2021 This year involved a lot of exposure to new ideas for me (and for everyone).

Deadlines Can Suck It Andrew Johnson May(be) 5, 2022 Sometimes it’s okay to be behind schedule. I had a lot go wrong this semester that helped put me behind.

Writing Centre Self-Reflection Allison Stephan April 14, 2022 I was somewhat nervous when I started working at the Writing Centre.

At the beginning of the semester, classes, writing appointments, and other meetings were moved online due to changing COVID-19 restrictions. I found this transition to be quite challenging, […]
Writing Centre Reflection Lael Louw April 22, 2022 Writing, as an exercise in hospitality, communion, and generosity has always been something that I have always approached with a sense of passion. Stepping into the writing tutor role was an exciting way for me to participate in the communal act of writing. Writing is a community-based […]
Spring 2022 Reflections Sishuo Alice Yang April 20, 2022 To be honest, it was my first semester in the Writing Center, and again, it was one of my most rewarding. From being overwhelmed at first to being able to think independently and answer students’ questions with ease, these valuable experiences have seen me grow. Although […]
