First step of CLUE assignment: Take 3 photos of dorm room decorations (e.g., doors, spaces) (Note: use your cell phone; alternatively, drawings or notes are fine) Take 5 time diaries: ask students what they did (and how much time they spent on each activity) over the last 24 hours. (Note: you can use your cellphone for this, too, by texting the question to friends who are college students; or you can ask hall/house mates) What does the data you collect suggest to you about college life?
