EXERCISE 5f: The On/Off Seat Arrangement
In this exercise, you will answer four questions about the “On/Off” seat arrangement: The “working” interpreter works for a specific amount of time that has been agreed upon by the interpreters. The “off” interpreter can do whatever they want, including leaving the room, texting privately, or the like, in an unobtrusive manner. This allows the “off” interpreter a mental and physical break to be fully energized to work during their rotation.
