Editing DUB Seminar (Winter 2022) (section)

== Assignments ==

For each week that we have a DUB seminar, all of the assignments are build around a set of one-on-one pair discussions with another member of your	cohort. To help these conversations happen, I'll be randomly pairing folks up with one of their classmates. I'll be posting a list of the pairings for the week on Slack on Wednesday afternoon ''after'' each seminar.

Your assignment involves the following three things:

# Formulate three questions ''for other members of your cohort'' based on the talk. [Individual Deliverable] 
# Share your questions, and talk through one or more of them, with your conversation partner for the week.
# Report back to the group on Slack. [Pair Deliverable]

You are welcome to structure your pair conversation in whatever way makes sense. It can be an in-person discussion, a chat over coffee or lunch, or a short video call in Slack or Zoom. It can also be an asynchronous text chat in a set of private messages on Slack. Do whatever works for you!

I'm imagining that you will spend about half an hour talking through things in a synchronous discussion or some equivalent amount of idea development in a text chat over hours or even days.

=== Questions DUE Thursday at 9pm [Individual Deliverable] ===

Your individual deliverables are the three questions that you will pose to your partner. They will be due in [https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1516345/discussion_topics the appropriate Canvas discussion] where others can see them the day after each talk. This will be similar to what we did in the Autumn quarter, but without the sketch noting and without the need to frame questions for three different audiences.

=== Reports from Pair Discussion DUE Sunday at 5pm [Group Deliverable] ===

Each group will have two deliverables which will be due at time that due at 5pm on the Sunday after each seminar:

# A short summary of your conversation (shoot for about 200 words).
# Nominate one question (either you brought to the session or one developed up in your conversation) for the facilitated conversation in the full group discussion. Ideally this will be a question that you and your partner believe will provide an illuminating discussion and/or elicit productive disagreement from your classmates.

Each week, '''one member of each pair should do one of these things and the other member should do the other.''' You're welcome to divide this up however you like but do make sure that everybody does some of each over the quarter.

Please complete both of these assignments in Slack in the following way:

# When posting summaries, please just post this as a normal message into Slack (i.e., start a new thread). Of course, be sure to both indicate that this is a reportback and mention the name of your conversation partner!
# For questions, let's try to keep these together under a single thread in Slack. I'll try to pin a message for these questions each week but go ahead and start the thread if I haven't gotten to it first and I'll pin it when I see it.

=== Vote on others' questions DUE Monday at 5pm ===
There is one final assignment:

<ol start=3>
<li>In the period between #2 above is done/due and ''before 5pm on the Monday before we have our facilitated group discussion'', look through the group discussion questions threads in the weeks since our last full group dicussion and nominate any question you are interested in for further discussion. Thumbs-up (:+1:) reactions are a totally fine way to do this!</li>
