Instructor interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geology & Geophysics, clip 4 of 16

Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: They typically know each other because they have been taking classes for a few years. I encourage them to work together in the field just for safety's sake. They have to write individual reports, of course, but for safety and bouncing ideas off each other in the field. When we go together to california, and we're living together for 11 days, and riding around in the same van, eating dinner and breakfast together, there are an awful lot of dynamics. It's really fun. I think they end up, more than in most courses, knowing each other really well, which is usually a good thing.
