Combined Mathematics #1 [Friday 9-7, Period 4]

[notanactualfairy]

When the math students entered the classroom for the first time, they would find their teacher pacing a path in front of the chalkboard. The more observant among them might notice that his feet were not quite touching the floor. Those who were paying particular attention would notice that he also seemed to be vibrating ever so slightly.

“Good morning,” he said when the last student signed in and he stopped pacing. Even the nonobservant-and-falling-asleep should notice he had a bit of an accent. “I am Jean-Paul Beaubier—you may call me Mr. Beaubier, or Professor Beaubier if you prefer--and I will be teaching you math.” The ‘God help us all,’ went unvocalized. "First, we will all introduce ourselves so I know who I am dealing with, and then, you will have half an hour to complete placement tests so I know what I am dealing with. Let's get started. First, I would like each of you to tell me your name, what year you are in, and where you are from. Starting with...you," he said, pointing to someone at random.

Re: Placement Tests

Rodney shook his head a bit at the blur and the suddenly appearing packet, but he quickly decided that the placement test was of much greater importance and focused on that. He finished quickly and eagerly raised his hand for the second one. That test took him a little longer, but he still had at least five minutes left when he was done. He sat back smugly and looked around at the students that were still working.

[Rodney is a theoretical astrophysicist, thus he did very well on both tests. However, due to his haste, he may have gotten one or two wrong.)
