Collaborative options for WISR students include: 

• participating in regularly scheduled WISR seminars (typically three to four or so each month, most of which are offered Saturday mornings and mid-day Pacific Time, by zoom and onsite again once COVID is under control; sometimes there is an weekday evening seminar); 

• participating in weekly discussion groups (some of which are student-initiated and others from time to time are organized by WISR faculty), 

• informally meeting with other students and/or WISR alumni, 

• collaborating on an action-research project with other WISR students, and 

• participating in WISR's online forum by making posts and replies to posts made by others. 

In most courses, you will be expected to do an additional 10 hours of collaboration with other students (or WISR alumni), beyond the required (one per module) posts and replies to the online forum. In addition, you are to: 1) discuss your collaborative activities with other students (see list above) with the WISR faculty member supervising your work in the course, either in the oral exam and/or throughout the course, and 2) keep, and then submit, a log of these hours of collaboration.
