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.
