WC design should reflect a collaborative effort and create an environment that builds confidence and generates ideas. Some WCs believe they should be \u201chomey,\u201d while others disagree. How do we define \u201chomey?\u201d Look at our WC, consider how tutors as individuals can improve the space: sitting position, noise, table size, presence of computers, individual objects, etc. What about a larger scale? Layout, decoration, designs, furniture, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Activity<\/h3>\n<p>Conduct seminar in the UWC lobby for the class that usually met in the WAC room (The other seminar was meeting in the UWC lobby). Participation in discussion plummeted drastically especially those seated on the edges of the group that normally participate heavily.
