## Pages

- [Page not found](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/404/): That page isn't in the specification, and it isn't on the server either
- [Assessment](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/assessments/): Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.
- [Field Journal](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/assessments/field-journal/): One exchange a week, turned into a rule someone else could run, then tested and revised. Eleven Sundays; your best ten count.
- [Interoperation Report](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/assessments/interoperation-report/): Negotiate a shared working protocol with a partner over three labs, then report what each of you conceded, and what held.
- [Personal Protocol Document or Neurotypical Interaction Field Experiment](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/assessments/personal-protocol-document/): The capstone, in one of two routes: document the protocol you run, decline and need; or vary one parameter of the majority’s protocol on purpose and report what comes back.
- [Protocol Specification](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/assessments/protocol-specification/): Document one social subroutine as though it were an undocumented API, with conformance tests a stranger could run by watching.
- [Lectures](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/): What is covered, week by week, and which topics each lecture draws on.
- [Introduction + The Opening Handshake](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-01/): Here is “how are you?”, and here is its specification, written down in one lecture after a lifetime of nobody writing it down.
- [The Undocumented Majority + Field Notes Without Pathology](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-02/): Why the people who run the protocol can’t describe it, whose failure a mismatch is, and how to write down what you saw without diagnosing anyone.
- [Payload and Envelope](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-03/): Indirect speech, hints and implicature: a protocol that breaks its own published maxims on purpose, and calls it politeness.
- [Latency and Turn-Taking](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-04/): The gap before a reply is measured in milliseconds, and listeners have learned what long ones usually mean. An undocumented timeout, documented.
- [Error Handling and Repair](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-05/): A twelve-language study found a listener signalling trouble about once every 1.4 minutes. The protocol has a subroutine for it, and a separate one for offence.
- [Masking: Cost Accounting](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-06/): Masking works, and it has a price. Here is the ledger: what each masked subroutine buys, what it costs, and how much say you had in running it.
- [Emergency: Overload, Shutdown, Recovery](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-07/): What happens when week 6’s budget is overspent for too long, and a runbook written now, while you can write one, for the day you can’t.
- [Institutional Protocols](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-08/): Emails to tutors, office hours, extensions and group work. The university specifies everything except how to ask for help, so this week does.
- [Escalation Rates](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-09/): How closeness actually paces: hours, disclosure, and a rate limit nobody publishes, until now.
- [Disclosure](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-10/): Whether to tell people, when, which people, and at what cost. Five audiences, needs without labels, and the timing trap.
- [Interoperation, Not Conversion](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-11/): Evidence on communication across implementations, what the studies leave open, and a bilateral protocol to try with your partner.
- [Advanced Topics and Further Study](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/lectures/week-12/): Romance, persuasion and power, logged as open issues rather than taught, with where the documentation starts. And the course’s own errata, because a specification without them is lying.

- [Jonah Paskett](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/people/jonah-paskett/): Tutor, Thursday labs. Mediates the week 9–11 partner negotiations, and has never once told anyone to “just be themselves”.
- [Tamsin Oyelaran-Hart](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/people/tamsin-oyelaran-hart/): Tutor, Thursday labs. Carries a stopwatch everywhere and will time your pauses if asked, and only if asked.
- [Dr Wren Aldous-Kemp](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/people/wren-aldous-kemp/): Convenor. Wrote the course's specification and maintains its errata, which have forty-one entries and counting.
- [Policies and support](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/policies/): Entry, extensions, adjustments, how to ask for help, AI use, and the rules for observing other people. The course specifies its own protocol here.
- [Is There a Link Between Autistic People Being Perceived Unfavorably and Having a Mind That Is Difficult to Read?](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/readings/alkhaldi-2019-readability/): Readability correlated with favourable ratings independently of diagnosis; the study also reported a difference between target groups.

- [Scalar inferences in Autism Spectrum Disorders](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/readings/chevallier-2010-scalar-inferences/): The researchers predicted autistic participants would draw fewer implicatures. The groups did not differ, and the abstract says so.

- [“How are you?”: Negotiating phatic communion](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/readings/coupland-1992-how-are-you/): Why “how are you?” is usually not a question, and why whether it is one gets negotiated on the spot.
- [‘I never realised everybody felt as happy as I do when I am around autistic people’: A thematic analysis of autistic adults’ relationships with autistic and neurotypical friends and family](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/readings/crompton-2020-autistic-relationships/): Twelve autistic adults on what changes between time with autistic people and time with neurotypical people: mostly, who has to adapt.

- [Mobilizing response](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/readings/stivers-2010-mobilizing-response/): Why some turns compel an answer and others let you off: response is mobilised by degrees, and turn design is one of the dials.
- [Experiences of sensory overload and communication barriers by autistic adults in health care settings](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/readings/stromberg-2022-sensory-overload/): Autistic adults reported more discomfort with background sound and felt more misunderstood by providers --- in the setting a runbook tells you to contact.
- [Helpful or harmful? A scoping review of perceptions and outcomes of autism diagnostic disclosure to others](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/readings/thompson-hodgetts-2020-disclosure-review/): 37 studies, and a gap: people told about a diagnosis think disclosure helps; autistic people deciding whether to disclose are wary.
- [Corridor Capture](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-01/): Go out into the building and log real openings: the words, the reply, and whether the exchange closed or branched.
- [Observation Without Diagnosis](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-02/): Twenty minutes observing a public space, then a partner reads your notes looking for any sentence that diagnoses instead of describing.
- [Envelope Relay](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-03/): In threes: one person writes a payload, one wraps it in an envelope, one decodes it. Score what arrives, then try sending it bare.
- [Stopwatch Lab](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-04/): The same “yes”, said after different delays. Measure how willing it sounds, then find out whether a hold token rescues a slow one.
- [Repair Drills](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-05/): Planted misunderstandings to practise specific repair initiators, then low-stakes apologies built from the template, with a partner checking which parts arrived.
- [Ledger Exchange](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-06/): Fill in yesterday’s ledger, then compare what the same subroutine costs different people in the room. Nobody’s price is the correct one.
- [Runbook Workshop](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-07/): A quiet lab to write your runbook, save messages, and plan the break. A reduced version is available when writing is hard today.
- [Conformance Tests for Email](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-08/): Write three institutional messages, then test the tutor email against seven clauses and the other two against their own requirements.
- [The Reciprocity Ladder](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-09/): Meet your Interoperation Report partner. Climb three rungs of question cards together, pass on any card without explaining, and draft the first clauses of your shared protocol.
- [Need Without the Label](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-10/): Draft partial disclosures for two audiences using fictional character cards, practise receiving one, then test your partnership’s draft protocol against a week of real use.
- [The Negotiation, Round Three](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-11/): Finish your bilateral protocol, compare your accounts of the negotiation, and audit which course terms you used outside class.
- [Capstone Clinic](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/sessions/week-12/): Choose your capstone route, get a peer ethics review of any field experiment parameter, and leave with a first paragraph written.
- [Submitting work](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-rangermix/submissions/): Where work would be handed in, how to check it arrived, and what to do if an upload fails.
