Three pieces — field notes, an audit of one place, and a proposal that a place should exist. 25 / 30 / 45.
Assessment#
Three pieces, and they are the same skill at three magnitudes: record a room, argue about a room, argue that a room should exist.
Two of them rest on places you physically went. There is no examination, and there is no way to pass this course from a library.
Field Notes
Your raw notes from the first four Rounds, submitted as written, plus one page on what your own notes turned out to be blind to.
