Feeding Schedule - provide food and water on these days each week

Observation Schedule - who has signed up for when

Your Obligation: 4 observation periods for collecting data.

• The observation room can handle 4-5 people at a time. Since I don't have everyone's schedule yet, we will do this on a free-form basis
• Wednesday (Dec 4) is the only day with a real bottleneck. I suggest that following groups split up Wednesday observations:
  • 2PM: Melissa, Sarah, Molly, Ali, Faith
  • 4PM: Vic, Michelle, Kyle, Tyler, Ben
• Thursday I suggest Ben do the 1130 and 4:30 observations, but not the 2PM, that leaves the rest of the day without conflict
