Really really good book. I read that a while ago. Totally sticks with you. Such a touching yet disturbing story.

Yep- it’s definitely not the final schedule. I’m teaching a class on Tuesdays this semester, w/ Stefan as the staff facilitator. I’ve been planning for a while- totally excited about it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Class: Happiness Design
Time: Tuesday’s at 12 in Stefan’s room
Credit: Ccc Ed (or make arrangements with another teacher for a different type of credit)

In this class, we will be examining the nature of happiness and satisfaction, as well as how we can implement games in our lives and societies to maximize positive experiences. We will be discussing, learning about and designing games with the purpose of improving human experience. Students will learn not only abut game design, but about revolutionary concepts such as positive psychology and happiness hacking. If you are interested in videogames, this is not a programming class, but it will expand your mind as a designer.

One quick addition. If you do choose to comment on this post with comments regarding the schedule they will find there way to teachers!

And please do remember that this is a draft schedule and will most likely change. That may be because students point out issues with how it is arranged now and the teachers choose to change it OR just because the teachers need to change something to work with their schedules.

Thank you all for your help in making the schedule work for as many students as possible!

Ugh I know!!! Sooo many great things are in that time block.
In order to change anything you don’t like, you need to talk to the teachers individually. Someone needed to take Italian instead of freshfolks last spring and so they talked to Eyva and Adam and did some extra work and then were no longer in freshfolks. But yeah! Go talk to your teachers, since its still a draft there’s a chance they can change (probably not, though).
At Novaknows, we have no power to change the schedule (fyi)

Ahhh big problem! I really really want to take Poetry form Barbara, and this is the only time I can take it because this is her last year, but i have to take Geometry A with Christina. It would suck sooo bad if I couldn’t take poetry, so that would be an amazing change for me. Also, it would be awesome if Italian and Freshfolks weren’t in the same time period. Thank you!
