Required of English teaching assistants during every semester they teach, but the number of credits that may be counted toward the degree is three.
Enrollment is limited to English teaching assistants and composition interns.
The course provides regular supervision of teaching assistants, a forum for teaching assistants to air their problems and successes, support and encouragement to teachers new to college teaching, and ongoing instruction on how to teach writing. The course also addresses issues of professional development. Students attend weekly meetings, discuss selected readings, and report classroom observations of other teachers. Please contact Dr. Rex Veeder, the director of composition. This internship is similar to a teaching assistantship except that the intern teaches or tutors for credit instead of a monetary stipend.
