The Power of Observation

Observation and Field Notes

Attention to detail and asking questions using that information is key. While viewing this picture on eCampus,

I observed:

+ They are about the same age as me.
+ They are using computers, books, notebooks, and a white board.
+ They are meeting in a public place, like our Mt. Lair.
+ Semi-circle seating.
+ Non-professional dress.

I can inference:
+ It is a school project.
+ They are being tutored.
+ It is best they meet during the daytime.
+ One member is currently leading a thought.
+ Eye contact and focus.

I can concluded:
+ There is a one person in charge, for now.
+ People have different tasks.

Question I can ask:
+ "Hey guys, what are you up to?"
+ "Why did you seat in a semi-circle?"
+ "Whats the division of labor here?"
