The Price Is Right

On Tuesday morning our DIR group had a meeting with Tom to discuss our idea in a bit more depth. One of the key words he mentioned was legacy. This was in terms of what we wanted the outcomes of our research to lead to i.e. what it would mean for the community in the long run, or what it could mean for other communities.

It seems that for this project he is really wanting us to work out the mechanics of conducting a research project, and really consider how much time things take and what the costs of various tasks may be. My first reaction is that I'm not great at doing this, and I agreed with Brandi in that I was always pretty terrible when playing along to The Price Is Right. Attempting to guess the price of things often requires a bit of knowledge on the matter, so I suppose doing research into the area will help this.

Nice to see you, to see you... nice

Hopefully I'll be better suited to help out in other areas of the proposal. However we were also encouraged to find out for ourselves how much it would cost for different tasks, for instance enquiring how much it would cost to include a documentary filmmaker in the process. As Tom put it at the end "it's not rocket science" as these things can all be worked out.
