This item includes a segment of a student interview in a Writing Intensive course in Upper Divison English 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: [Professor Fujikane's assignments] motivated me. Everybody had their connection to a certain place, and I think in that sense there was that motivation to dig deep and to research moʻolelo of that place and different development projects that threatened these places. It's important that these assignments mean something to you and that really motivates our performance in the class.
