Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: This semester I am just a week or two in, and so far I notice a lot of the teachers making the same points . . . some people are more economy-based, some people are more environmental-based . . . neat to see the different dynamics of my professors . . . it is nice because I am so immersed in it . . . last semester was not like that . . . two Writing Intensive courses this semester . . . one course offers a non-Writing Intensive section, and I do not need the Writing Intensive, but I took it . . . she is very place-based . . . Rosie Delgado, she is Hawaiian . . . aquatic pollution . . . incorporates a lot of how water works in Hawaiʻi . . . Hawaiian terminology . . . how the Hawaiians lived and how we are living here . . . other course was more scientific, and I did not do well in my Intro to Biology course, so I wanted to take the one with passion.
