Welcome! This Digital Portfolio is a comprehensive account of highlights from my year-long endeavor as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for ENGL390 - Online Professional Science Writing. I originally took the ENGL390 course as a major requirement in Spring 2018, returned as a first time UTA in Fall 2018, and just completed my second round of the UTA experience in Spring 2019. Whilst pursing my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences, I chose to participate in the English UTA internship as mode of getting out of my comfort zone and gaining leadership experience.
Being a UTA has been equally challenging and rewarding. It has deeply enriched my undergraduate experience, and supplied me with applicable skills in communication, collaboration, self-management, and self-reflection. The items you will find on the website are a variety of lesson plans, reflections and teaching items which underscore my work and progress as a UTA. It's an experience that I would recommend to any student.
I'd like to also express my sincere appreciation for the English Department faculty and students who supported me as I navigated the role of being a teaching assistant.
