The third major assignment actually consisted of three parts.  For the first part Professor Jim allowed us to choose any spot on the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus and take raw notes on everything that happened.  These observations varied from amount of people coming and going, conversations around me, what people were doing, how people acted, etc.  To be honest, I felt kind of stalker-ish, but then in class, we discussed the difference between eavesdropping and just being a “field reporter.”  After we gathered enough information we were asked to write a two page paper on this place we chose and the interactions people had with it.  This paper allowed us to write freely, and state our opinions of why people use this place and if this place brings about any “unique” interactions.  I was actually able to receive feedback from Professor Jim before finishing my e-portfolio, which is why there isn't a revised draft.  I felt very confident in my writing ability due to the learning from the previous assignmnets, and I actually found happiness in editing my final draft.  I hope you enjoy reading my place observations on Sinclair Library as much as I enjoyed writing it!
