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)

==== Another thought ====
Under the policy as written, the Board gets to decide how to award points, so we don't exactly need to codify this. I'd disagree that hands-on is part of the definition; classes can be both. Generally I'd say that a class:
* Is taught by an instructor knowledgeable in the subject.
* People are coming to get instruction, knowledge, assistance, and/or tutoring from the instructor.
* The spotlight is largely on the instructor.
* There's a good chance the instructor will have needed to prepare for the class at some time in the past outside of advertising it.
An event is something else on the calendar that isn't a class. Movie night, game night, etc. Again, just my $0.02, and this doesn't have to be part of the policy, and it probably shouldn't.
If the person hosting "Everyone make a wooden whatever" is, say, providing plans for people, may have acquired materials, and is coaching them through making the wooden whatever, it's a class. If the person organizing it is just responsible for advertising it and unlocking the door, and the individuals are making their whatevers without help from the organizer, then it's an event. --[[User:Rdpierce|Rdpierce]] ([[User talk:Rdpierce|talk]]) 23:46, 30 November 2014 (CST)
