Description
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.
