1:30-3:30pm-CLASS:
-This class appears to be a combination of graduate and undergraduate students
-Starts with class critiques entitled "Biggest Problems after 3+ Weeks"

Start of his lecture (He is intereesting but I need coffee bad):
-Dr. Fogg feels that behaviorism is out of fashion

He gives students advice on their ongoing "Sunscreen Application Persuasion Tools" project:
-"Don’t blame the user when you are not clear with your directions"
-He shows them his sunscreen application video-Team Yoda
-Dr. Fogg asks his students to think about their tools encouraging Sunscreen use as an opportunity for changing behaviors or the formation of new habits
-He shares that it is important when designing persuasive technology tools to consider: 1) motivation, 2)ability, 3)TRIGGER
-TEA Break #1 (no coffee available)
