COMPOSITION I

This is a place
based English 100 course. Our course materials and conversations will be based
and informed by the places we represent as individuals and the environment that
surrounds us as students at the University of Hawaiʻi (Hawaiʻi). The ultimate
goal of the course is to help students develop critical thinking, reasoning,
and effective writing skills through the lens of understanding the relationship
between writing/ academic discourse and place.
