Bwog’s heard multiple reports on “an edict from on high,” as one Music Hum instructor put it, that Music Humanities has banned laptops in class this semester. The reasons given are frankly not too surprising: the laptops are seen as far more of a distraction/procrastination tool than a help. Who knew?

It’s unclear yet if the policy is a test for other Core Courses; laptops are already frowned upon in many Lit Hum and CC sections, though maybe that’s because hiding procrastination is somewhat more difficult around a table versus a huge lecture.

In related news, a note for CC first-years: Friday’s Music Hum exemption test is the only chance you have to test out of the class, if you’re so inclined.
