We went about conducting the blog first by agreeing upon an issue we all felt strongly about on campus. We all had different feelings about the C4C and thought it would be interesting to compare what other people thought across campus. We thought this would be important to look into because the C4C has been such a large addition to our campus. We began by finding basic information on the C4C from housing and dining websites. We also took pictures of the dining hall in order to visually communicate to our audience its features.
We chose our sources based on their demographic. An upperclassmen's point of view would be key in seeing the necessity of having built it and what they thought it compared to previous years' choices. A freshmen does not have past years to compare to and might base their opinion solely on food quality. Freshmen are also the group of students who eat at the dining halls most often, so it is important to understand the choices they face when eating every single day. An RA gives a combination of both. They have the experience of eating in the dining halls in previous years but also have to eat there everyday. Sierra has a pending interview with the Corrdinator of Facilities at the C4C and Christina has a pending interview with an office worker from Housing and Dining Services. These two interviews will give insight into the human aspect of the building. For example, do kids give positive feedback, was research conducted to see what kids wanted out of the building, do other parts of the building get put to good use, etc.
Next time, we would like to have taken viedo footage of the dining hall. A video of what getting dinner is like at the C4C would give audiences a first hand account on what the crowds are like, how the stations physically work, and how large the building truly is.
