Field Trips
Note: This topic was discussed as part of the PKAI Course overview but not explored in deep detail.
Topical office-hours sessions that became the real teaching venue of the PKAI Course. Pete invented them about 2–3 weeks into the course when plenary sessions weren't working due to the mixed audience.
Pete: "I invented this thing called field trips, where it's like kind of like office hours, but with a topic."
Students who only attended Plenary Sessions were "starving for weeks" without realizing the content had moved to field trips.
