Good stuff so far. Really wish we had known more in advance of the workshop, but really glad to delve in now none the less.
I like this statement: " This textbook does not present an "approach" to interpreting work. Rather, it supplies a framework for understanding, analyzing, and talking about the work of interpreting."
And
"Calling something a demand of your job means that it is a salient aspect of your work. It is a factor that rises to a level of significance that will, or should, impact the decision making involved in your work."
And TADAA the four demand categories..EIPI.

I think this is more helpful now than it would be as a student. Maybe I'm wrong, but I understand more than I would have before I was actually working. I have to re-read the chapters to let it all sink in, but I do find myself having "ah-ha" moments.

I felt really good after last night's meeting. I have a better understanding now on what is a demand and what is a control.
I'd like it if maybe we can write some examples of what are some demands and/or controls. So we can reference it and discuss it.
Something I relate to is the Paralinguistic aspect of demands. I work at WCI and many of the staff are from other countries and it can get really challenging understand their accents. I tend to rely heavily on my team for that.
Others?

Do you want to use chapter 2 class activity? She references it again in chapter 3.

Hi Kim, Beth, Holy, I'm still rereading this and trying to wrap my head around the demands I face and have been using current work situations to try and identify the differences between the demands and controls.
One point I wanted to share is is from Amanda Smith's foreword comment; " The demand control schema serves to unpack the mystery and complexities of interpreting work, making ti more accessible to pre-professionals and processing interpreters". I agree and am challenging myself to stay on top of the reading and making sense of it.
