'''Keep Your PC Running Fast''': The three most common issues filed at the Office of Information Technology (OIT) help desk are: computer running slow, virus infection (PC only), and no Wi-Fi connection (Mac only). In my class, you will learn how to solve these problems on your own with free tools hidden in the operating system. After taking this class, you can: decrease log-in time and memory usage, remove virus without antivirus software (OIT confirmation is still needed for virus removal), reestablish Wi-Fi connection for Mac and return your PC to pristine state if all else fail. The class meets from 1 to 2 pm on Saturdays in Jesup 205. Contact Son Le at snl1 if interested in taking the course.
'''The Magical Land of Equestria: Harmony and Its Discontents''': The magical land of Equestria is home to the technicolor ponies of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. There, all three races of pony (unicorn, Pegasus, and earth) live together in peace. But are thins so simple as they seem? In this course, we will examine the history, government, and religion/philosophy of Equestria and grapple with questions of free will, democracy, and the true meaning of “harmony.” We will also watch the adorable ponies and eat popcorn. Yay ponies! (This course is open to non-“bronies” and those unfamiliar with the show.) The class meets from 7 to 8 9 pm on Thursdays Wednesdays in Paresky 114. Contact K. B. DiAngelo Kaybi at kbd1 if interested in taking the course.
'''Folk Band 101: Contra Dance Survival for Musicians''': Have you always wanted to jam with a folk dance band, but weren't sure how to join in? Perhaps you're classically trained and looking for some musical variety? Contra dance is an American tradition of social dance fueled by the energetic, driving beat of a band. Whether or not you've been to- or even heard of- a contra dance, you can learn how to add your sound to a folk band and keep the dancers moving! We'll cover the form of dance tunes, melodic playing, chord structures and harmony, rhythmic figures, and making the most of your instrument's specific qualities. Although we'll focus on the basics, experienced folk players are more than welcome to jam with us! Bring your instrument and a favorite tune if you have one. Before we begin, stop by the contra dance on January 6th to see and hear an experienced band in action! The class meets from 2:30 to 4 pm on Saturdays in Currier Ballroom. Contact Annie Moriondo at amm5 if interested in taking the course.
