Item Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geology & Geophysics, clip 17 of 17(2015) Place-based WAC/WID Hui; Habel, Shellie; Henry, JimBrief excerpt from interview: You can practice all you want, but until you've actually done the real thing, that's when you get the really valuable experience.Item Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geology & Geophysics, clip 16 of 17(2015) Place-based WAC/WID Hui; Habel, Shellie; Henry, JimBrief excerpt from interview: That's one thing in science that everyone hates: you have to cite every little thing. Taking a lot of Writing Intensives classes in a scientific major teaches you if you don't have those citations, people can't use your writing at all. Citing makes your papers more powerful... All of these classes have helped us learn why there is that scientific format, why it's useful, why we should do it, and how is the best way to go about actually writing it.Item Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geology & Geophysics, clip 15 of 17(2015) Place-based WAC/WID Hui; Habel, Shellie; Henry, JimBrief excerpt from interview: [With] research audiences, they kind of already know the background... you can present your research as you did it. [For other audiences] it's kind of like writing a story versues writing a research paper.

I've been interested in geology before, and I came out here, and the geology program here is amazing, so I decided to enroll. The department and the professors are very humble and very smart and accessible. If you're interested in anything at all, they're very willing to help and very willing to include you in their work.Item Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geology & Geophysics, clip 13 of 17(2015) Place-based WAC/WID Hui; Habel, Shellie; Henry, JimBrief excerpt from interview: Instructors [shouldn't] be pushovers. [When] you do these same assignments over and over. It doesn't really help you. It's just a lot of busywork. While these big long ones, where they expect a lot of you, you have to work all semester to put something together, that is what you're going to encounter in the workplace.Item Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geology & Geophysics, clip 12 of 17(2015) Place-based WAC/WID Hui; Habel, Shellie; Henry, JimBrief excerpt from interview: It will remain with me, just that voice of Scott's. He always writes his little things like 'huh?' Sometimes when I'm writing I think, 'Would I get a comment on this?

I help take care of the beaches. My main goal is to help the state make wiser decisions about land use... This class was about mapping, and a lot of what we do in coastal geology is make hazard maps for the state. Scott's classes are really helpful for giving us tools that we can later use in jobs.Item Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geology & Geophysics, clip 9 of 17(2015) Place-based WAC/WID Hui; Habel, Shellie; Henry, JimBrief excerpt from interview: Any time you go somewhere like [a class trip], your bonds grow stronger with your peers.

Bonded through the observations.Item Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geology & Geophysics, clip 8 of 17(2015) Place-based WAC/WID Hui; Habel, Shellie; Henry, JimBrief excerpt from interview: We don't really have those kind of rocks in Hawaiʻi... We don't have anything older than a couple of million years old, and the stuff we were looking at [in the Mojave] was a lot different than anything we had ever seen.
