I prefer documenting whether or not the behavior occurred every hour, it gives a more structured approach.

Hmm, I wonder if the teacher could just set up a hidden camera and let technology do the work? Just kidding, that's probably a bit too creepy. But hey, whatever works, right?

I don't know, man. Keeping a tally on the chalkboard seems like a pretty old-school approach. We're living in the digital age, portable counters are where it's at!

I think using technology like a portable counter is the way to go in this situation.

I think using a timer to record the number of minutes for each occurrence would provide more detailed data.

Option C could work, but timing each occurrence might be a bit cumbersome. I'd go with the portable counter for a more efficient data collection process.

Option D seems a bit too simplistic. If the behavior is happening at a moderate and consistent rate, we need more detailed data than just 'yes or no' every hour.
