Instructor interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geography, clip 10 of 10

Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: The students [submit] four writing assignments throughout the semester and they correspond to four different sections of the class. The writing assignments are to reflect on the readings and then in many cases to for example look up things online and apply some of the concepts from the readings to for example environmental issues locally and internationally. So a lot of the students take this opportunity to look at local issues using concepts from political ecology or looking at how globalization affects local governments.
