Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Geography, clip 2 of 11

This item includes a segment of a student interview in a Writing Intensive course in Geography at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The interview was conducted in 2015, and in this clip the interviewee is responding to the question 'How would you describe the classroom dynamics?'Brief excerpt from interview: The service learning was interactive. We got put into different groups based on tools, so it was completely different and I worked with different people that I normally don't talk to and when we were eating afterwards we were all just kind of on our table interacting with different people so I think it was a great way to kind of bond... I think it might have been better if [the service learning project] was a little bit earlier... More towards the first half because then people are starting to get comfortable with each other... I feel like that familiarity makes people more likely to volunteer in class because if you know the other people you're maybe not as intimidated about other people judging your responses especially when it's kind of a discussion-based class
