ItemStudent interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Animal Science, clip 14 of 14( 2015)Brief excerpt from interview: I was raised in the mainland and everything there is basically mainland textbook and not really down to the local level like over here where the history is very different and varied, and the Pacific is kind of viewed as a whole... It's interesting how, through all my Writing Intensives... how my writing has shifted from being kind of mainland oriented to being local and oriented here.

ItemStudent interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Animal Science, clip 9 of 14( 2015)Brief excerpt from interview: I've seen a lot more of [this place] than I thought existed in the first place... I'm probably adopted Hawaiian/Asian because I've done so many things I never would have had the chance to or would have tried on the mainland... I don't regret the evolution into what I wanted to do... I feel I have more motivation to do what I want to do... Being here I was able to grow up a little being away from my family and on my own.

My drafting processes are usually kind of flawed... [Starting a paper is about] a comfort level, being confident when I'm writing...

ItemStudent interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Animal Science, clip 5 of 14( 2015)Brief excerpt from interview: I write better as part of a collective... It's a lot more daunting to write a paper when you have to collect all the information yourself... A lot of the things that we were told was what the farmers knew... It's making sure we represent the information in the context it was meant... If it's individual, I have my own style of writing, so as long as I'm able to represent what I know, in my way, then I think it's pretty successful.
