The internship provides a range of opportunities for students to work with UQ-based, or affiliated, organisations and researchers, assisting with project based work, event organisation, and editorial and publishing activities. Students will gain practical experience by working within professional organisations involved in literary and historical research, library resource management, writing and publishing, communications, and cultural heritage management. During the internship, students will critically engage with the internship through journal writing and a research-based essay; they may also contribute to other publications and scholarly outcomes.
To apply to enrol in this course students must complete the application form and obtain a supervisor's signature. Enrolment form available on the School website. Due to the selective nature of this course, competitive entry will apply.

Aims and outcomes
The aim of the course is to give students professional experience in areas intersecting with the Arts and Cultural Heritage. Students have an opportunity to gain insights in to the ways that academic disciplines, including Professional Writing, Editing & Publishing; Literary Studies;ﾠGender Studies; and, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studies, conduct, publish, and present professional research and scholarship, not only to academic communities, but also to a wider public. Students working on digital humanities projects such as with AustLit will also follow this same aim of facilitating the production and dissemination of academic research, sometimes undertaking original research, but also havingﾠthe opportunity to produce a scholarly outcome of their own. Those working in the Fryer library will gain experience in a range of preservation and information management strategies and techniques.ﾠStudents in the Writing, Editing and Publishing (WEP) program can use this course to gain practical experience in publishing and editing.ﾠ

Task description
The Management of Learning tasks comprise 4 components:
· Completion of tasks set by the internship supervisor (10 marks): This component involves liaising with the placement supervisor, proactively seeking out work, showing initiative for periods when there are no specific tasks set by the supervisor, completion of tasks, and reporting back to the supervisor. Students are expected to behave professionally at all times. If they are unable to attend the workplace for any reason, they must contact their supervisor to let them know and provide an explanation. The course coordinator will consult with students’ supervisors at the end of semester for allocating a mark for this component.
· Active participation in meetings (10 marks): Students are expected to attend and actively participate in the 4 course meetings (weeks 2, 6, 9 and 12). Activities will include discussion of internship progress, small group work, and scaffolding tasks.
· Journal posts reflecting on the internship and responding to the posts of others (10 marks): Upload a 150-word post each week (weeks 2-11), by Friday 4pm, to the Learn@UQ ENGL3020 course site discussion board. The entries may, for example: record tasks, reflect on experiences and challenges, critically evaluate the aims and progress of the project, or reflect more broadly on the aims and methods of the type of work that the project represents and how it is situated within the humanities. In addition to uploading your own journal post, students are expected to respond briefly (1-2 sentences) to 2 posts from others each week.
Peer review of scaffolding tasks (Draft Abstract and Draft Annotated Bibliography) (10 marks): This component involves bringing a draft abstract and draft annotated bibliography for the research project to the week 9 meeting and providing constructive feedback to peers on their draft abstracts and annotated bibliographies (3 entries).
Criteria:
- Completion of tasks set by the internship supervisor in a timely way; organisational skills; a professional and courteous attitude to supervisors; and having a proactive attitude to the internship. (10 marks)
- Active participation in meetings. Students are expected to initiate discussion, engage with their peers, and share ideas and experiences. (10 marks)
- Journal posts: completion of 10 weekly posts (weeks 2-11) (approx. 150 words) evidencing reflection on the internship; and responding briefly to the posts of others (2 per week) (10 marks).
- Peer review: providing constructive feedback in a collegial way on the draft abstracts and draft annotated bibliographies of other students in the group (10 marks).
AI and MT:
· Completion of tasks set by the internship supervisor (secure assessment): This assessment task is to be completed in-person. The use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT) tools will not be permitted. Any attempted use of AI or MT may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
Also note: Students should only use AI/MT on tasks set by the internship supervisor if expressly requested. Students are expected to conform to the AI policy of the organisation at which they undertake their placement.
· Active participation in meetings (secure assessment): This assessment task is to be completed in-person. The use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT) tools will not be permitted. Any attempted use of AI or MT may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
· Journal Posts (insecure assessment): These tasks have been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use AI and/or MT technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance. A failure to reference generative AI or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. To pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed comprehension of their written submission independent of AI and MT tools.
Library Materials and Gen-AI: Students are also reminded that library materials may not be entered into AI technologies without express permission: Policies and guidelines - Library - The University of Queensland
“You may not share, re-publish, copy or enter into AI technologies any part of a resource accessed from our online collections unless expressly permitted in the licence terms for that resource”
“Except as permitted under each Publisher's terms and conditions of use, you must not:
Use UQ Library resource content as an input to generative AI products or services”
For referencing AI/MT see the Library guide: https://guides.library.uq.edu.au/referencing/ai-tools-assignments
For referencing AI in MLA style see: How do I cite generative AI in MLA style? from the official MLA style website.
· Peer review (secure assessment): This assessment task is to be completed in-person. The use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT) tools will not be permitted. Any attempted use of AI or MT may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Task description
Task Instructions: Draw from your journal entries to create a Reflective Essay on the internship experience. This should consider the skills and experiences you’ve gained throughout the internship and how your work has developed throughout the semester. You may wish to consider ways that you could have done things differently to expand or improve on the outcomes, processes, and achievements, or ways the organisation could improve methodology and management of future projects. In the essay, you might quote your own recorded comments/musings at particular times during the internship to underpin your reflection of your own and the organisation's work. You may wish to quote from secondary sources on the practice of reflection and/or journaling, however it is not essential. If you choose to cite secondary sources, you should include a Works Cited list in MLA style.
As John Cowan suggests:
Reflection is well established as an essential component of lifelong learning and professional development… It is taken here as thinking in which a learner identifies and seeks an answer to a question whose answer, preferably in generalised form, is likely to be of practical use to them. The learner deliberately thinks about past or impending actions, with a view to effecting future improvement… This process can take place within a written, keyed or narrated reflective journal and should lead to new understandings and appreciations. [...] Reflection begins from a question whose useful answer the person concerned desires to identify. It progresses into thinking whose focus relative to the activity from which it hopes to learn is determined by the timing of the chosen question. It should entail sustained questioning and especially self-questioning by any person who reflects privately. (Cowen 53, 61)
Cowan, John “Noteworthy matters for attention in reflective journal writing”. Active Learning in Higher Education, vol. 15, no.1, pp. 53–64.
Criteria:
- Thoughtful reflection and critical evaluation of the experiences of the internship and the project (10 marks)
- Writing mechanics and expression (10 marks)
AI and MT:
These tasks have been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex.
