CommunityData:Workshop and Soft Block

Workshops
Starting in the Fall 2021 quarter, we are implementing weekly workshops in place of softblocks + a 3-hour C+F session. The main idea is that the CDSC workshop provides a weekly venue to present/share work about once per quarter. This would be similar to C&F, but spread over the quarter; in Fall 2021, we first tried this out in place of a C+F block.

'''Everyone is expected to attend the workshop sessions. Everyone is also expected to sign up to present/share work each quarter.'''

For Winter 2022: In the week you are presenting/sharing, you should circulate something for the group by EOD Thursday before your Monday slot. Like in the critique and feedback session, you are welcome to workshop a wide range of things: planning documents, draft papers, manuscripts with reviews, grant applications, job market materials, practice talks, brainstorming potential projects, etc.

Soft Block
The soft block is an hour on the calendar that almost everybody can make that but we leave "open" to use for a variety of things. This might be a meeting with another research group, a reading group, or an overflow workshops. It can be anything!

If you are using it as an overflow workshop, please try to send your material 2+ business days in advance as you would for the workshop.
