Defining effort taken to attempt to teach a class that does not have 5 attendees is not something I want to codify. Classes with sufficient effort, advertising, and prep usual do net 5 attendees, and as you pointed out exceptions can be made. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 22:10, 17 October 2014 (CDT)

=== What qualifies as a "class"? ===
Here's something I'm not clear on. What qualifies as a "class"?
Is it someone walking through a PowerPoint and providing handouts?
Or does it imply (or require?) that people actually do something hands-on with physical stuff or code or bits on a board or...?
The latter can require a lot more time on-site for the same number of people, and thus may have a much lower participation cap, especially if there is a particular machine required for part of the class.
(Example: I would love a woodworking class; it's been a long time since I've used a table saw. But an "everyone make a wooden whatever" class becomes a waiting game if everyone in class needs to use the table saw, even if there are only 5 people in the class.)
thx,
Ananda
==== Traditionally speaking... ====
A class has traditionally been loosely defined, and are not generally hands on. That said, what you describe sounds awesome, I am open to rewarding preperation. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 22:00, 20 October 2014 (CDT)
=== Change request for classes ===
2. In that same section, for classes change "5 or more people" to a lower number. We originally suggested 1, but if 2 or 3 is needed to reach a compromise, we can support that. (Elizabeth and Ryan)
* I prefer to deal with this case by case. For classes without material preparation or that can be done completely concurrently (math, programming, writing, etc) I prefer to keep the default at 5, and lower the requirement case by case. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 22:49, 20 October 2014 (CDT)

* several people have expressed that they feel area hosts should be able to get points for doing stuff outside there area. I, need to reconsider my stance on this. --[[User:Hef|Hef]] ([[User talk:Hef|talk]]) 21:54, 20 October 2014 (CDT)

*. (Ryan) Under the policy language, change the Eligibility section to remove the statement "Area hosts are not eligible for member points." There is already language in the Area Hosts and Volunteer Positions policy that will suffice.
