Contemporary Practice Research
This assignment provides you with a direct experience of whichever contemporary practice you choose to focus on in each of your Practice Instructions Project. For each contemporary practice that you choose, you will either (1) visit a local event or site related to the practice or by (2) engage in something similar to that practice by yourself or with one or more others.
IMPORTANT: The contemporary practice you chose to research should be one that you feel you can recommend to the City Repair staff, which addresses the goal that the staff is trying to achieve, as articulated in the relevant scenario.
Assessment
As noted in the schedule for Unit 1a, you must fill out and submit a Practice Research Form (MS Word/PDF) for the first unit of the course, so that you have some experience to describe when you submit the Background Materials for the Practice Instructions Project.
The thoroughness with which you have done your research will be assessed as part of the completed Practice Instructions Project.
Completion of the Practice Research Form is optional for Units 2 & 3. You may choose to complete it simply for your own benefit; if you want feedback, submit it **at least two weeks before** the corresponding worksheet is due.
