Each session will feature student presentations about selected readings for the course. These readings offer different perspectives to the use and agency of pervasive sensing and urban life, and we hope they will create a theoretical foundation for conversation in the class. Each student should pick a reading (or group of readings) and together with your colleague, prepare a presentation about the material.
format
You will have 12-15 minutes to present together; how you use your time is up to you. You are welcome to use a slideshow, skits, cartoons, debates or any other format to inform the class about the arguments of your selected readings. The readings of each individual should be presented equally, and in debate or conversation with each other. Creativity will be rewarded with applause and (unusual) generosity in grading from the teaching team.
logistics
Each set of presentations are in pairs. Either buddy up now, or select your preferred time and let fate match you up. Select your presentation date and your readings, and note your choices on the course wiki (linked from Stellar). Once someone has selected a reading, you cannot present the same reading.
readings
Pre-selected readings are available on the course wiki. You may also propose another reading, but it must be in the spirit of the class and approved by the teaching team. Some readings have been paired up, and these assembles are intended for a single student together.
