Assignment One





The Paths of Boland Floor One 
Date: Monday September 1, 2008
Time: 7:00 pm- 8:30 pm

For the time period I kept track of  people passing through the elevator lobby of Boland Floor One. I kept track of 1) the time that they passed through the lobby. 2) their gender. 3) where they were going. 4) where they were coming from. 
This was an interesting project to do. Prior to the project I never really saw many people from my floor walking around. However, within the hour and a half that I sat in the lobby I had a total of 54 people pass me. Most people on the floor were headed to similar places (either their dorm rooms, the dining hall, the trash room, or the bathroom) but their were also some random places as well (Niagra Falls, NYS Fair).
I asked every person the same question "Where are you going to? -and- Where are you coming from?" and it was interesting to see how different people responded. Some went into great detail while answering the questions while others gave quick one word answers.
