Hi Bill
I love giving the students these types of assignments. However, you can get
yourself into trouble at times. Students are creative, so you have to try
and foresee why may occur. The big problem area is having them observe
deviance--now, as instructors we are looking for them to observe things like
littering, deviant dress, etc. and other people's reactions to the deviance.
Not students--they want to go to the area of town where "real" deviance
occurs. This also happens if you have them break a norm and capture people's
reactions--you tell students they are to break folkways not laws, but you
know students. But as you say there are a lot of things you can assign that
are easy and "fun learning" for students. I have had them watch sit-coms,
listen to music, and go through magazines advertisements. Keeps them out of
harm's way, I hope. This quarter the Intro students are going to do
application papers--this assignment sound like no problem, but have had a few
occasions where it could have led to problems. One of the nice things about
computers is the chance to learn from others things that might work in
teaching, especially teaching abstract concepts.
