Intern journal reflection

The most pilar trend that I have found while looking back at my journal entries is that students most often need help brainstorming. I think this is often caused by anxiety. The words and ideas do not seem to come to mind when all they can think about are due dates and their grade. I only had one case of plagiarism, but I did have two ELL students. They each struggled with tense, but besides that they were very different sessions. It was really great being able to help so many students with suck a large array of papers. I even had an electrical engineer come in, so I could help with his lab write up. I have also had the opportunity to use and become more familiar with resources around the writing center. Mostly when it comes to citations, but I have gotten quicker which was my resolution thing we made at the beginning of the semester. I know I can become even quicker, and I'm sure ill have plenty of opportunities to help me with that.
