== Assignments == | == Assignments == | ||
=== | For each week that we have a DUB seminar, I'm asking folks to do two things each week. | ||
=== Discussion on Slack [Due Friday following seminar @ 6pm] === | |||
I am expecting that everybody will spend a minimum of 30 minutes each week outside of the seminar time discussing each seminar on Slack. This should roughly be split between reading others' messages and posting your own thoughtful responses | I am expecting that everybody will spend a minimum of 30 minutes each week outside of the seminar time discussing each seminar on Slack.

A simple starting point will be to simply pose a question for the cohort in the slack itself! If you don't feel the desire to share your question or if there are already an interesting set of questions posted, you can spend time responding to others. | A simple starting point will be to simply pose a question for the cohort in the slack itself! If you don't feel the desire to share your question or if there are already an interesting set of questions posted, you can spend time responding to others. | ||
For the purposes of tracking participation, I am logging our Slack channel and will generate statistics each week of who has participated and when/how much they posted. I don't have a target word count that I'm looking for and I definitely understand that sometimes a thoughtful short message may reflect a bunch of research. That said, I do expect that (a) everybody will post every week, and (b) the posts will be substantial enough to suggest something in the range of 15-20 minutes of thoughtful effort. | |||
=== | === Capstone group discussions [Due each Monday before facilitated discussions @ 6pm ] === | ||
We'll be having our three discussion groups after talks 1&2, talks 3&4, and talks 5&6. I want everyone to set aside 45-60 minutes to discuss each pair of talks with their capstone project groups. I'm hoping this makes things easier logistics-wise because you'll be meeting with these folks regularly as part of your projects. | |||
==== | ==== Example Ways of Responding ==== | ||
Your | Your discussion might take several forms: | ||
* Analysis: Why or how is the research being presented considered to be important? What conversation does it contribute to? What's puzzling or confusing about what was described? | * Analysis: Why or how is the research being presented considered to be important? What conversation does it contribute to?

* Short-term Application: How might ideas in the talks influence your capstone projects? Are there things you might approach differently? Don't let resources or time be a barrier. I'm not asking you to actually apply the ideas from the talks or to rework your projects as you go. My main goal here is prompt you to think about how you could. | * Short-term Application: How might ideas in the talks influence your capstone projects?

* Skill Practice -- '''The Pitch''': How would you summarize one/several of these talks to others outside MHCI+D -- in the context of a meeting, coffee conversation, e-mail, etc.? Who needs to know about this research and why? Give each other a pitch and refine your delivery. | * Skill Practice -- maybe we would call it '''The Pitch''': How would you summarize one/several of these talks to others outside MHCI+D -- in the context of a meeting, coffee conversation, e-mail, etc.?

* Skill Practice -- '''The Interview''': Imagine you are talking to one of the leaders of the research project being described and you're seeking a job on the team. How does your MHCI+D background and skills position you to contribute to their work? Offer each other feedback and consider potential follow-up questions or responses from a hiring manager. | * Skill Practice -- maybe we would call it '''The Interview''': Imagine you are talking to one of the leaders of the research project being described and you're seeking a job on the team.

* | * Synthesis: Thinking back over these talks and all the many other talks you've attended as part of the DUB seminar (see [https://dub.washington.edu/seminar.html#tab_previous_seminars past talks list]), what themes do you identify? Are there tensions or conflicts that emerge within these themes? | ||
Your | Your deliverables are to post the following things to a pinned Slack discussion threads that I'll create for the purpose: | ||
# A short summary of your conversation (shoot for 200 words). | |||
# At least two questions or topics your group would be interested in discussing with the full group. | |||
My understand is that all the project groups have three people. As a result, I'll expect each of you to | My understand is that all the project groups have three people.
