Arbitrary Hour
Arbitrary Hour is a Fall 2008 seminar series course organized by students from the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Boston, MA. The course is essentially an educational collective in which each student in the course (there are no "teachers" or "professors") gives an hour long seminar on a topic that interests them. The seminar can be about anything, from a hands on baking experience to a discourse on international politics.
