- [Page not found](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/404/): That page doesn't exist, or it has moved since you last looked
- [Assessment](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/assessments/): Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.
- [Intervention](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/assessments/intervention/): Redesign a wait you are not allowed to make shorter, and justify the technique you used and the person it acts on.
- [Studio Presentation](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/assessments/studio-presentation/): Present the Intervention in the week 12 studio and defend the choice of who it manages.
- [Teardown](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/assessments/teardown/): Take one shipped wait apart and say what is measured, what is shown, what is claimed, and which of the three is load bearing.
- [Wait Log](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/assessments/wait-log/): One week of your own waits, measured three ways, and 500 words on where the three numbers disagreed.
- [Lectures](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/): What each week's lecture argues, Tuesdays, across the twelve teaching weeks.
- [Two durations, one wait](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-01/): The opening lecture, on the two numbers every wait has and why only one of them is the course's subject.
- [Where the thresholds came from](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-02/): Why interface guidance has three numbers in it, who measured them, and what they were measuring at the time.
- [What a spinner is allowed to say](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-03/): The indeterminate progress indicator, read as a component with exactly one message and a great deal of silence around it.
- [The bar is not the process](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-04/): Determinate progress, where the system commits to a number it does not have, and the design space that opens once you accept that.
- [Showing the work](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-05/): Operational transparency, and the finding that people can prefer a slower service that lets them watch it work.
- [Filling the time](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-06/): The techniques that consume attention during a wait rather than reducing it, and the question of what that attention is worth.
- [The fair queue and the fast queue](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-07/): Why a queue people believe in outperforms a queue that is merely quicker, and what first in first out is actually protecting.
- [The genre of the hold](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-08/): What you are given during a wait, treated as authored material with a history, a genre and an economics behind it.
- [Who is asked to wait](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-09/): Waiting as a distribution rather than an experience, and the queue as an instrument of state and market power.
- [Delay on purpose](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-10/): Latency added rather than removed, and the line between a deception that serves the person and one that serves the system.
- [The wait you remember](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-11/): Duration neglect and the peak-end rule, and why the last minute of a wait is worth more than the middle of it.
- [Defending a wait](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/lectures/week-12/): The closing lecture, on what it means to design a wait you are not allowed to shorten, and who you answer to when you do.
- [People](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/people/): Who teaches the course, and how to reach them.
- [Idris Fenn](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/people/idris-fenn/): Tutor on the Thursday workshops, across the fieldwork, the corpus building and the studio defence.
- [Marisol Quaye](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/people/marisol-quaye/): The founding convenor, responsible for the course's shape and its weekly teaching programme.
- [Policies and support](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/policies/): The course-wide rules on marks, late work, extensions, academic integrity and getting help.
- [The Clock and the Feeling](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-01/): Week 1. Measured duration and felt duration are two different quantities, and the gap between them is what this course studies.
- [Three Thresholds](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-02/): Week 2. The perception gap becomes engineering. Three numbers decide which affordance a delay is given.
- [The Throbber](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-03/): Week 3. The indeterminate spinner communicates only that something is happening. This week asks what the silence around that is for.
- [Ninety-Nine Percent](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-04/): Week 4. Determinate progress, where the system tells you something and the something is false.
- [The Labour Illusion](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-05/): Week 5. Showing the work as a substitute for doing it faster, and what that licenses.
- [Occupied Time](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-06/): Week 6. The techniques that consume a waiting person's attention rather than reducing the wait they are in.
- [Fairness Before Speed](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-07/): Week 7. Duration and justice come apart, and people choose the slower queue when it is the fair one.
- [Hold Music](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-08/): Week 8. What you are given during a wait is authored material, with a genre, a history and an economics.
- [Who Waits](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-09/): Week 9. Waiting is distributed, the distribution is produced, and the queue is an instrument rather than a side effect.
- [Benevolent Deception](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-10/): Week 10. Delay added rather than removed, and the question of who an added second is for.
- [The Remembered Wait](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-11/): Week 11. The wait you report is not the wait you had, and the last minute decides how the whole thing is remembered.
- [Designing a Wait](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-ohlai/sessions/week-12/): Week 12. The studio week, where interventions are defended against the thesis rather than against a rubric.
