The twelve-week teaching schedule: what happens in each session, what to prepare, and what leaves the room.
The internal collection and URL stay sessions. Set the visible singular and plural names once in src/site-config.ts and use the language your course deserves everywhere readers see it.
Starting the wait-observation log
Setting up the personal log you'll keep and reinterpret all semester, and making your first entries against it.
Week 1 · 22 February 2027
Rereading the log for attention
Going back over your Week 1 entries to ask what occupied your attention, then adding one more entry from a wait that naturally differs from them.
Week 2 · 1 March 2027
Rereading the log for expectation
Sorting your existing entries by whether the wait ran shorter, about the same, or longer than you expected, and adding one more entry where your expectation was already on record before the wait began.
Week 3 · 8 March 2027
Rereading the log for information
Sorting your existing entries by whether they carried explicit waiting information, comparing entries that are otherwise similar, and adding one entry from a wait where real information arrived partway through.
Week 4 · 15 March 2027
Logging the interface
Extending the wait-observation log with a Week 5 field that records what a digital wait's progress or status representation actually did, not just whether one was present.
Week 5 · 22 March 2027
Logging the room
Extending the wait-observation log with a Week 6 field for a concrete feature of a wait's physical environment, and checking whether it relates to Outcome/notes independently of Judged duration.
Week 6 · 29 March 2027
Reading the queue
Naming a real queue's apparent rule, watching what actually happens, and being honest about what you could and couldn't verify.
Week 7 · 5 April 2027
Mapping a priority rule
Reading one real, published priority policy for its class, its criterion, and what it actually changes — without calculating whether it's fair.
Week 8 · 12 April 2027
Value-for-wait map
Reading one real system to tell apart an explicit value trade from a priority mechanism, using only what it actually publishes.
Week 9 · 19 April 2027
Designing a control experiment
Drafting one experiment protocol and pressure-testing it against five fixed questions, before the Waiting Experiment asks you to run it.
Week 10 · 26 April 2027
Calibrating the evidence
Building a nine-mechanism table from your Queue Case Study system — re-tiering the five mechanisms you already classified, and classifying four more from outside for the first time.
Week 11 · 3 May 2027
The tenth row and the relationships between them
Classifying your audited system's own control mechanism, and logging only the mechanism relationships your evidence actually supports — the last working material the Waiting Audit asks you to submit in full.
Week 12 · 10 May 2027
