Seating Chart

The Plan

Everyone is in one of ten groups. Your group is the same for the entire quarter. An email sent to your @uw.edu email at the beginning of the quarter gives your group. The purpose of groups is to give you a smaller, well, group of students to get to know better and two assigned TAs who can be mentors for your group.


To make this work well, and to enable TAs to track attendance and participation, we will have you sit with your group in the seminar each week. To achieve that, we have divided the room into ten zones, and each week your group will sit in a different zone. (That way, nobody is always in the front or in the back.) The zone map is the same all quarter. The assignment of groups to zones, changes each week and we will post it here and remind you on the discussion board.


If this seating plan is a hardship for you, please contact the instructor so we can make an alternate arrangement. We do apologize that it is imperfect for students with disabilities and for left-handed vs. right-handed desks. We will find an accommodation that works for you.
