Does ANYONE like being in an environment that’s stuffy and overly academic? Probably not, and that’s one reason why people often get too intimidated to go to office hours. At the same time, COVID-19 isn’t really allowing us to hang out in person, so here’s my suggestion: a MukBang (먹방), but PSYC 307 version. Every week, I’ll be on Zoom (Tuesdays: here; Wednesday here). I will sometimes have food, and you can join me with or without food, and we’re just going to chat the time away. Everyone is welcome, but a group of 15 or so will be specifically invited each week (i.e. there’s no signing up)! You can go to as many or as few as you want! These are not mandatory, and group assignments are merely “suggested assignments”. You don’t even have to turn on your webcam (but you’re encouraged to) – you can just come and hang out with other people! All groups are posted on Canvas. The dates are:
| Tuesday | Sep 14 | 2 pm | Group 1 |
| Wednesday | Sep 22 | 4 pm | Group 2 |
| Tuesday | Sep 28 | 2 pm | Group 3 |
| Wednesday | Oct 6 | 4 pm | Group 4 |
| Tuesday | Oct 12 | 2 pm | Group 5 |
| Wednesday | Oct 20 | 4 pm | Group 6 |
| Tuesday | Oct 26 | 2 pm | Group 7 |
| Wednesday | Nov 3 | 4 pm | Group 8 |
| Tuesday | Nov 16 | 2 pm | Group 9 |
| Wednesday | Nov 24 | 4 pm | Group 10 |
| Tuesday | Nov 30 | 2 pm | Group 11 |
Feel free to look up photos from other #mukbench sessions using that hashtag! Here are a few others:
