Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Communicology, clip 4 of 15

This item includes a segment of a student interview in a Writing Intensive course in Communicology at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The interview was conducted in 2014, and in this clip the interviewee is responding to the question 'Did the assignments motivate you or, on the contrary, de-motivate you in performing in the course. Why?'Brief excerpt from interview: I was more academically inclined just to make sure I acquired the grades that I was aiming for... and if that required me to write some assignments, then I would do it. [The assignments] didn't necessarily de-motivate me It's not discouraging because I understand that writing is beneficial. It helps me enhance my skills, especially if I want to pursue graduate school, but it didn't necessarily motivate me either
