Many of our workshops come from Dawson's "Out of the Classroom" exercises; this text is also the source for the log page and the workshop report guidelines linked here. Always follow these guidelines for your weekly workshop report, due every Friday. If we do more than one workshop in a week, choose one to write up, and do a thorough and concise report.

Record your observations in your unlined notebook. Draw sketches on one side of the page, and
reserve the other side for written notes. Always include the information listed in the sample observer's log page.

Here are some homegrown workshops designed for this class.
