In his paper Kitchin expresses how “interviewees felt they had been exploited- theirknowledge and experiences ‘mined’ by the researcher(s), who were never heard of again.”3 This“rape model of research”7 was avoided by continual updates and a final project proposal that wasdiscussed and critiqued by all participants at the end of the planning stages.CollaborationFor this project to be successful, collaboration with the community to over come sociallyconstructed barriers was one of the biggest concerns. To address these concerns individuals withdisabilities were included in every stage of the planning process.

This involves identification of all of the various tasks associatedwith the project and an estimate (no matter how far off) of the time required to complete eachtask. The students are encouraged to identify an individual responsible for each one of the tasksand to create tasks that are no more than one week in duration. The one week duration for tasksis an attempt to keep the groups on track and to ensure that the students have a focus for each

, teams seemed much less receptive to the new workshop format (15%rated as good or very good in winter, versus 36% in fall), despite integrating breakout time forteams during workshops. This drop in student receptiveness may be caused by the workshopformat itself and/or its content. Written comments collected during course-end student feedbackfrom the winter quarter as well as ongoing focus groups with students by the guides will helpdistinguish common source(s) of the student’s lack of receptiveness to the workshops. Frommany group discussions, it appears that the drop may be at least partially attributable to the largeincrease in class size between the fall and winter quarters, as well as a change in roomconfiguration.

The glass should hold up to 400 pounds easily. (N.B. It is extremely rare that the pane will break. If the glass does break it will break in the pane of the glass meaning that glass pieces will fly out parallel to the floor. It is best to have students remain at least 10 feet away and wear safety goggles while doing this demonstration.)If you wish to demonstrate the effect of a flaw in the glass, the
