Overview
Solar Patch Sciences is the practical study of warm rectangles of light: where they appear, how long they stay, and how best to lie in them. It is the most popular programme on campus and the most peaceful.
Practicum hours are logged by the patch itself, and students are marked present for as long as any part of them is in the light.
