Meet the students of the Learning Commons

--> Posted on March 28, 2024

There are a few elements that set the Learning Commons apart from other areas of Cooper Library. For one, it is a place for campus partners, such as the Career Center or the Center for Student Leadership and Engagement, to interface with students through tabling or special events. It also provides students with a collaborative study area. But perhaps the most important distinction is the assistance students can get there from peer research specialists, student employees who have been trained on how to help others find the resources they need for research and scholarly projects.

This semester, five undergraduate students and one graduate student are working in the Learning Commons, answering lots of questions, planning events, and more. Meet the students of the Learning Commons:

What have you learned in this job that has benefitted you as a student? Learning to use the Libraries search function. I didn’t know how do that previously, but you have to know how to use it in order to answer people’s research questions … As a sophomore, I haven’t had to take any super high-level history classes yet, but I probably will be able to use that more next semester.

How has working in the Learning Commons helped prepare you for your career path? You get to interact with different people, and I feel like that connects to what a big part of healthcare is, because working in a hospital or clinic, you’re going to have a variety of different people, situations and all that. I feel like that has helped because everyone here comes from different places, and it’s very diverse — you have international students, people from out of state, people from different parts of South Carolina, and I feel like that aspect of me interacting with different students and having the engagement with them, is a very important and crucial skill that could translate into the healthcare field.

Name: Camryn Bruce Year: Graduate student (first year) Major: English Hometown: “Kind of all over the place” – family currently lives in Memphis, TN. Undergraduate degree: Bachelor’s in English education from Mississippi College Future career plans: That is the question I’m wrestling with daily. Right now I’m looking at Ph.D. applications, which I will probably be working on this summer. So I’m pretty set on applying to Ph.D. programs, but a publishing job or a teaching job at the secondary level is not out of the question either. Just kind of trying to see where I land.

How has working in the Learning Commons helped prepare you for your career path? I think that I want be teaching in some capacity at whatever level that is … So I think this job has this really amazing role in my life where I’m getting that day-to-day experience in different ways. Like on Thursday, I’m teaching in the Writing Lab, and that’s a full-on lesson plan with a PowerPoint and everything. And then I have these daily questions where I don’t really know what to expect. Like, I never know what I’m going to be asked. So that on-the-spot kind of teaching is very practical because that’s what a classroom is like, and you can’t ever prepare for every question. And just creating resources that will help the community that needs them … It really helps me consider my audience and how to show them what they need to know, which is, again, that’s what teaching is. I think every day I feel a little bit more confident as a teacher.

What have you learned about collaboration and communication in this job? Oh my gosh, so much! I’m a very big introvert, I like working by myself. But having people in the same position as you and having such different majors, I find that we’re kind of like a pizza – we all have different toppings, but we all work together. We’re still a delicious slice of pizza. I love all of my coworkers. We all bring something different to all these different experiences, and when we have these projects that Jessica or Tyler assign to us, it gives us a chance to really get to know each other … I realized that collaboration can come from the tiniest things to the largest things, especially as someone like me, who likes working by myself, having this experience shows me that collaboration is so beneficial and communication as well. It has really opened my introvert eyes into seeing that teamwork makes the dream work.

What have you learned about collaboration and communication in this job? I learned that you can definitely get help if you really need it. I was a new person coming in here so I didn’t know much of anything, but everyone else, they were here last semester, so they know a lot more, and it’s good to just reach out and ask questions. I liked to ask them what kinds of questions they usually get when I first got here. I like to over-prepare.  I was definitely a little concerned because I don’t do much research, so how do I help someone else? So I asked them and they helped me, so I feel like I’m better at it now.

What have you learned in this job that has benefitted you as a student? Definitely as a student it’s benefitted me a lot. With all the partners we work with, like the Writing Lab and Career and Professional Development and CSLE and all those partners, I never even knew the vast resources that those different programs have, so I have been able to use a lot of those as a student in my own courses because I have a better understanding. As a freshman last year, I didn’t know about these programs or didn’t know what they were about. And another thing that I was able to learn in this position is to be able to adapt my communication style to who I’m speaking to, because some people understand these resources more than others … Like we had an elderly gentleman who was a veteran, and he would come in and need help because he decided to go back to school at Clemson, and he would need help using these databases for his classes … the way you would explain it to that person as opposed to someone who’s a graduate student doing something for a case review is just a different way of communicating.

Can you write essays for free?

Sometimes our managers receive ambiguous questions from the site. At first, we did not know how to correctly respond to such requests, but we are progressing every day, so we have improved our support service. Our consultants will competently answer strange suggestions and recommend a different way to solve the problem.

The question of whether we can write a text for the user for free no longer surprises anyone from the team. For those who still do not know the answer, read the description of the online platform in more detail.

We love our job very much and are ready to write essays even for free. We want to help people and make their lives better, but if the team does not receive money, then their life will become very bad. Each work must be paid and specialists from the team also want to receive remuneration for their work. For our clients, we have created the most affordable prices so that a student can afford this service. But we cannot be left completely without a salary, because every author has needs for food, housing and recreation.

We hope that you will understand us and agree to such working conditions, and if not, then there are other agencies on the Internet that you can ask for such an option.

What is the best custom essay writing service?

In the modern world, there is no problem finding a person who will write an essay for a student tired of studying. But you must understand that individuals do not guarantee you the quality of work and good writing. They can steal your money at any time and disappear from sight.

The best service of professional essay writing companies is that the staff give you guarantees that you will receive the text at the specified time at a reasonable cost. You have the right to make the necessary adjustments and monitor the progress of the task at all levels.

Clients are not forced to pay for work immediately; money is transferred to a bank card only after receiving a document.

The services guarantee the uniqueness of scientific work, because the employees have special education and are well versed in the topics of work. They do not need to turn to third-party sites for help. All files are checked for plagiarism so that your professors cannot make claims. Nobody divulges personal information and cooperation between the customer and the contractor remains secret.

What is a good essay writing service?

Oddly enough, but many people still have not come across a quality service. A large number of users fall for deceivers who take their money without doing their job. And some still fulfill the agreements, but very badly.

A good essay writing service should first of all provide guarantees:

• confidentiality of personal information;
• for the terms of work;
• for the timely transfer of the text to the customer;
• for the previously agreed amount of money.

The company must have a polite support service that will competently advise the client, answer all questions and support until the end of the cooperation. Also, the team must get out of conflict situations correctly.

It is necessary to have several payment methods on the site to make it easier for the client to transfer money.

And of course, only highly qualified writers with a philological education should be present in the team, who will not make spelling and punctuation errors in the text, checking all the information and not stealing it from extraneous sites.
