Take a
moment to look around you.
Observe the ceiling, and all the overhead systems that provide lighting
or conditioned air or fire protection.
Be aware of the layout of walls
and imagine the subsurface networks of electrical and data service.
Notice the furniture - feel its surface against your body
and review the seating arrangement.
Study the doorways and fixtures; inspect the windows and floor.
Stroll across the floor.
Now consider, if you were an undergraduate in class,
how might the very act of making up for the shortcomings of your classroom
affect your learning and how you are taught?
