Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Communicology, clip 4 of 13

Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: The first paper we ever had to write had nothing to do with your point of view. It's just kind of elaborating on a theory, and when I turned my paper in she said 'This is nothing like APA format.' At first it did kind of demotivate me a little bit...but I got help, and now that I figured it out, it's not as hard. It doesn't demotivate me. During class, if you listen to Jessica lecture, and you give her feedback, she kind of sets up your paper for you. I remember doing MLA when I was in high school.
