Observation Pre-Work

These pre-work assignments are designed to help you manage your time and expectations prior to the completion of the larger observation and analysis assignments. In your pre-work assignment, you will outline your plan or selection for the observation activity. Specifically, please provide the following information in your submission:

1. Selection
2. Rationale for your selection (e.g. will it be easy or convenient for you in some way?)
3. Resources you will need (including other people, places, events, or opportunities)
4. Time you anticipate it will take
5. Schedule detailing when you plan to complete the observation activity
