The document appears to be Asia Baez's report for her ethnographic research class. It includes observations of 3 subjects in a residence hall kitchen. Subject 1 was oblivious and left a mess. Subject 2 cooked with her boyfriend and they cleaned up together. Subject 3 frequently referred to instructions and checked the microwave. Overall, few people used the kitchen and those that did alone did not stay long. Students seemed inexperienced in the kitchen and impatient while cooking. The document also includes sections labeled as visual research on techniques like diagonals, arcs, and monochromes.
