Ha ha ha, ho ho ho, and a couple of tra la laas

That's how we laugh the day away in the merry old land of AHS...

The AHS Committee recently proposed a CapstoneCourseOption that would allow students to petition to satisfy the AHS Capstone requirement with an additional AHS Concentration course in lieu of the AHS Capstone project (which will still be offered at Olin). The project will be the default. All students (i.e., students who satisfy this requirement via a course or a project) will present their results to the Olin community. Click on the preceding link to read this proposal in full. This followed in part from the AHS CapstoneBrainstorming activity

Links that have something to do with AHS people:

Trying to make an appt with Caitrin? Pick a slot here at CaitrinsOfficeHours. (Outlook + Macs + non-technical user = big mess)
Trying to have an even better appt with Rob? Pick a slot here at RobsOfficeHours (Outlook + PC + reasonably intelligent person = smooth process)
Trying to have a stupendous appt with Gillian? Pick a slot here at GilliansOfficeHours (Outlook fine + sometimes wiki better)
How about a decidedly inferior appt with Lynn? Sometimes slots will appear at LynnsOfficeHours (which is really not here, but here) (Outlook....oh, never mind!)
