I am going to approach HCID 590 as one class stretched out across the year. This means that although the core of the class—the seminar itself—will remain the same, the learning goals will shift a little each quarter. It also means that the assignments and activities may change so that they we can all build upon what we have learned. | I am going to approach HCID 590 as one class stretched out across the year.

I'm approach ''this quarter'' (#2) as an opportunity for you to develop your own points of view based on what you have heard in the seminars. | |||
I will consider this quarter a total success if the following happens: | I will consider this quarter a total success if the following happens: | ||

For each week that we have a DUB seminar | For each week that we have a DUB seminar, I'm asking folks to do at do two things each week. | ||
=== Post visual notes and questions [Due each Thursday following seminar @ 9pm ] === | |||
By 9pm on Friday following a talk, please post to the relevant place in the [https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1479641/discussion_topics Canvas discussion forum] with the following two things: | |||
You are welcome to | ;(1) A visual note capturing a single idea from the presentation: You are welcome to reflect on how the talk fits into the design challenges that you are currently addressing, highlight a research methods that you can use in the context of your projects or capture your key takeaway. Please do not try to visualize the whole presentation within your one visual note! The best notes will focus on one key point. | ||
I'm | I'm actually pretty new to visual note-taking myself but I'm not a particularly great at drawing. I know that both experience and skills will vary quite a lot across the group so don't feel bad if you're new to this too. I found these videos pretty useful: | ||
* [https://www.verbaltovisual.com/what-is-sketchnoting/ Verbal to Visual / What is Sketchnoting] | |||
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNFk1HvlCho The 50/50 Rule of Visual Note-Taking] (YouTube) | |||
;(2) Three questions including: | |||
:* A follow-up question for the speaker | |||
:* A question for the cohort to discuss | |||
:* A question for the instructor, industry, or someone else | |||
Every question that you ask should help you gather facts or opinions. The questions should be probing and with a purpose. It is not required of you to ask the speaker any questions during the seminar but it is highly encouraged! If you decide to ask your questions in class be sure to respect the speaker and ask questions that you are really interested in learning about. | |||
I am asking you all to turn these in using a Canvas discussion because I want you all to be able to see each others notes and questions. I am ''not'' expecting that you will be responding to each other on Canvas. In fact, I strongly recommend that if you've got a good question for the cohort, you copy-and-paste that question into Slack in ways that are described below. | |||
[[File:Canvas insert image menu.png|thumb]] | |||
When you turn these in on Canvas, please attach your image with the ''Insert → Image → Upload Image'' menu as shown in this image. This will make is to that it's easier for your classmates to browse all the sketchnotes that folks are uploading. | |||
=== Discussion on Slack [Due Monday following seminar @ 3:30pm] === | |||
I am expecting that everybody will spend 30 minutes each week discussing each seminar on Slack, roughly split between reading others messages and posting your own thoughtful responses. | |||
A simple starting point will be to simply pose your 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 question posted, you can spend time answering 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. | |||

This course is offered credit/no credit. Although you will not receive a numeric grade, passing this class is not automatic and I will assess your work and evidence of learning throughout the quarter. You can find details about my approach to assessment and my very detailed grading rubric on [[User:Benjamin Mako Hill/Assessment|my assessment page]]. | This course is offered credit/no credit.
