I imagine you will get several responses from members of the academic
team, but here's my 2 cents worth:
There will be extensive field work (depending on your project) during the
institute.
Please bring clothing for field work in the lush countryside of the
Princeton area, classrooms, computer rooms, walking around town, going
out in boats on Lake Carnegie, a barbecue on Lake Carnegie, taking the
train to NYC, lots of different venues.
If, for instance, you did not attend either GREEN or GLOBE, your team or
part of your team might well do extensive field work during week two.
Week three is left open for field work, with only a few hours of
not-to-be-missed presentations. There may even be some time during the
first week, but that is more problematic given the fact that grounding is
so important. It stays light way past the official hours of the institute
- which have not been etched in stone yet. The fourth week may be late
for field work, but it is for finishing up, whatever activities that
means.
TI is lending us some CBLs, but not enough for everyone. Here's where
I'll leave the rest of the answers to others.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Mary

Subject: Field Equipment
>From Jim Bauer and team # 11
Our team has been following the changes in the institute calendar as
posted on the esi97 web page. Early postings (May 97) gave specific
indications of fieldwork during the second week of the institute. A
later posting (outline format rather than calendar format; 6/3/97)
indicates "independent work" but not fieldwork. The latest posting
(calendar format 6/24/97) mentions no independent or
fieldwork, replacing these with evaluation and weaving sessions with
coaching sessions following.
Would the faculty and/or directors please reply immediately concerning
the
status of any intended fieldwork to be done during the institute?
Considering the different focus on clothing, supplies,and equipment
needed in the field as opposed to the laboratory and/or classroom it is
essential to have this issue clarified prior to our departure. It
hardly seems prudent to pack and transport a great deal of gear that
will never be used. Would you also indicate whether equipment (such as
e-mate,
CBL etc) is still desirable and should be brought to the institute?
It would be best if your reply could be sent by tomorrow, Wednesday
6/25/97 (it is Tuesday 6/24 in Honolulu at this writing) to allow for any
adjustment in our preparation for departure to Princeton.
Thank you for your assistance
Jim, Terry and Sophie
