What to do all day

8am: Arrive at Otto Miller Hall and get everything ready for class.  


8:30am: Class begins.  You spend the morning either observing class, or processing the video and photos that you collected the day before.  


(In the best possible arrangement, two researcher-videographers will observe each class session at the same time, and two other researcher-videographers will process their accumulated video and photos at the same time.  In this way of operating, you have two different kinds of partners:  one who is in the room with you, and one who is observing the same group as you.  This will provide a strong structure for collaboration.  In real life we will be flexibly adapting to circumstances such as multiple courses, transitions between researchers, etc.)


Lunch: Take lunch at the same time as the teachers do, unless you have a better idea.  You can bring your lunch or you can walk to Fremont and buy lunch.  There is barely time to walk to Fremont and back during the lunch period - you may wind up walking while you eat - but it's a really nice walk.


Afternoon, until 3:30pm:  Spend the afternoon either observing class, or processing the video and photos you collected in the morning.


3:30-4:30pm:  The course instructors meet to talk over what happened in class and make plans for the next day.  We are the best source of information they have!  Be prepared to report on what you observed that day and line up a video episode or two to share.  We need to end the meeting at 4:30, so there won't always be time for video.  Be assured it will be put to good use at some point.


Weekends are all yours.

  1. "Be" assured, but do not "rest" assured. We do not rest.
