Week 1 Quiz

Checking whether the course's core method actually landed.

Week 1

Three questions on the method Week 1 introduces — the one every case-study week from here on reuses.

1. What are the three steps of the course's method, in order?

Observe, isolate, describe
Complain, escalate, report
Notice, judge, publish
Isolate, observe, punish

2. According to Week 1, what is the Live Practicum for?

To perform a technique yourself, under supervision, rather than only observing others
To collect anonymous complaints from the public
To grade classmates on their manners
To replace the Final Exam

3. The lecture compares the course's method to an engineer studying a bridge. What is the point of the comparison?

You understand a norm's limit by finding out how much it takes to break it, not by reading a rule
Etiquette rules are exactly as precise as engineering specifications
Bridges and elevators are both covered in Week 3
Engineers make the best case-study subjects
