Criminal Justice

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

*Tick stands at the lecturn. He isn't staggering, nor is he wearing condoms on his antennae. He is covered with soot and burn marks, as if he's been in the middle of frequent explosions all weekend. He appears to be unharmed, and not even his costume is damaged, so it's probably nothing to worry about.*

Journalism Class - Tuesday September 20

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

There is no class today, but an attendance roster is taped to the center of Professor Jerusalem's desk.





((OOC: Sorry, still sick but I absolutely have to drag myself to work today. Am about up to managing tracking townies and access requests and that's it. I was hoping to offer an off-campus field trip this week but with all the chaos may not have the energy.))

Speech Comm

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

CJ walks into class wearing dark sunglasses and carrying a 20 oz coffee. She looks tired, but extremely happy. It takes her a good 5 minutes to begin talking, and then it's v-e-r-y softly.
( 201 )

By this time she's had her coffee and has perked up some, but she still doesn't take off her glasses.

Home Economics

[mrsvandekamp.livejournal.com]

Welcome to our first meeting as a combined class, everyone! We will be meeting twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and your credit hours will be changed to reflect this. An updated syllabus and roster will be available then. If you signed up for either class, but have not attended by Thursday you will be removed from the list.

To get to know each other, today we will have a discussion. Please share your thoughts with each other on this topic. Remember, participation is graded!

What do you believe makes a social function successful?


Also, it is time to decide which area of Home Ec you would like your first project to cover. 7 areas of possible study are available. However, if you have another idea run it by me and I'll sign-off on it. You have until Thursday to decide.

Thank you all, have a wonderful day!

Ethnographies and Travelogues

"Good morning class!" said Mr. Valdoria with a grin. "Today we're going to discuss the difference between travelogues and ethnographies. I'm going to pass around these hand outs. First is the syllabus, please read, and ask any questions you may have. I would like you to take the rest home and come back next week with 100 words on the difference between an ethnography and a travelogue and be ready to discuss them. For today, we're going to discuss your preconceptions about traveling. So, when traveling, what thing do people do that normally wind up with them getting killed? Discuss."

Study Hall -- Tuesday, September 20th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

This is the study hall for Tuesday. If I even smell rose-scented shampoo on one of you little bastards, I'll punt you so far off-campus you'll be in orbit around Pluto for a week before you come down.

Today's announcements:

-- For the record, I want you little punks to understand that the ban on weapons is not meant to punish those of you who can handle weapons maturely and responsibly -- and don't think I don't recognize those of you with that sort of skill -- it's to punish those who have informed others to arm themselves against certain students and faculty, those who have issued death threats in public, and those who have left their weapons in a place where someone lacking proficiency can simply pick them up and possibly injure someone.

Also, I know that certain students have asked about exceptions to that rule, and the exceptions are so: If you cannot remove the weapon from your body without impairing yourself to the point of a severe handicap, if your weapon is sentient and will get pissed off if you leave the room, if your "weapon" is not actually defined as a weapon and is not intended to harm any of the students at the school (See: Zero's croquet mallet), or if your body is the weapon and you use to fight evil and to make the occasional tuna fish sandwich. Aside from that, you should presume that you are safe on this campus and behave accordingly, regardless of what certain flower arrangements might tell you.

-- Addendum: Whoever sent that flower arrangement is getting fucking disemboweled. As the principal, I'm at least reserving that right.

-- We now have a new cafeteria chef in swedish_chef_. He seems to have a thing for chicken. Well, hell, it's better than grilled gremlin.

-- For the record, the events for October include Homecoming on the seventh and an open house for parents, guardians, and other people who seem to think they run your life on the last weekend of October. Open house will include a costume party in the gym for anybody who wishes to attend.

-- (OOC: And in another note, if you guys are going to do something huge and dark that's going to traumatize a lot of the students, we admins would appreciate a warning first. And no, the weapons ban doesn't count. *smirks as several students grumble and lower their hands* Just remember, guys, this game simply isn't for your enjoyment, it's for everybody else's as well ... some of us shouldn't be driven to drink by it. ;) EDIT: ... then again, maybe what this place needs is a drinking game. *toddles off to OOC*)

Biology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

*Why no, the science teacher isn't following a set theme. And this should make the students who were complaining about no chemistry much happier.*

Today, we will be discussing the chemicals one would find in a cell. If you would open your notes to page 24. And don't forget to sign the roll sheet--two consecutive absences will earn you detention. I will post lists later on this week.

Reductionism is an assumption that underlies much of contemporary science. The central premise: To understand a complex system, break the system down into its parts. This has been a very successful program for many areas of biology (though not for all). It can, if applied overly dogmatically, lead to an overly mechanical view of the cell. But it is a useful approach, and one that generates an extraordinary volume of research.
* Hierarchic view of life: to understand life fully, need to study it at different levels
* The cell is a chemical machine; its parts and its language are chemical
* Need sophisticated tools to analyze the components: chromatography,electrophoresis, etc.
* Biochemistry is study of these parts

The Fencing Club

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

Hey all, I'm posting this for battousai_kun, as he apparently got eaten by the tentacle monster or something. If anyone wants to take over the fencing club, they can have at it - he ain't comin' back.

OOC: Yeah, I was foolish and stupid and didn't think this RP would become as insane as it has, so I really only have time for once character. I'd just have Edward take over the club but he doesn't know a damn thing about sword-fighting except for the hack-and-slash part, so if anyone's interested in taking the club, reply here. First come, first serve. Same goes for Kenshin, actually - if anyone wants to take him, send me an e-mail (contact info's on my info page) and I'll give you access to the journal account.

History of the Ancient World - #4

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

History of the Ancient World
Tuesday 12:30-3:30 pm

Seimei entered the classroom giving the current students a sharp eyed gaze before smiling. He glided over to unroll the discussion question scroll.

What responses did Croesus get from the oracles regarding his intentions of attacking the Persians? How did he react?

After putting up his scroll, he unrolled a second one. “You will also have an essay due September 29, covering this topic.”

One salient feature of Herodotus’ narrative is his extensive treatment of non-Greek customs and religion. By analyzing particular examples, examine whether Herodotus portrays non-Greeks in a favorable or unfavorable way.

“Please drop by the roster page to verify your name is on the roll for the correct class. I will be keeping stricter tally of who shows up in class and who does not.”

Languages, Tuesday

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

In case you missed the announcement yesterday: every student in the language classes needs to do an in-class presentation. There is a sign-up sheet and further instructions at my office. The presentations should be between three and five minutes long. Visuals are encouraged. Your first presentation may be in English or your native tongue; your second one, later in the semester, must be at least half in the language you are studying. (History of English students are the exception.) The subject of your presentation may be any historical or cultural aspect of the language you're studying.

Homework for all classes is study and practice your vocabulary, and prepare for your presentations.





[ooc: I am completely out of ideas today. My apologies.]

Open Sociology Lab

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Although primarily for Criminology students, this Open Lab period is open to any students on campus who wish to speak to Grissom, or participate in his supplemental forensics seminars.

For Criminology Students, there will be a handout exploring the structure of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Additionally, today's demonstration will be on the basics of fingerprinting.

Feel free to play with the materials and take your own fingerprints. Might be a good idea to have a card around in a drawer somewhere at this school, in case you go missing.

Library open

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos unlocks the doors of the library. Empty coffee cups litter the collections desk, since coffee addiction has (temporarily) replaced beer addiction.

He settles behind the counter with a stack of unmarked books and begins to tag them with the proper number.

Open Lab (Physics, Biology, Geology)

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Originally, I'd planned that Open Lab sessions wouldn't necessarily be posted, but this will probably work better.]

If you are having trouble in either physics, biology, or geology, now is the time to come and ask questions.

*Each lab to date is included, with supplementary material.*

Fashion Update

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

To all primates, disembodied specters, etc, currently enrolled in my class:

I expect to see your projects completed and presented before next class. If you don't turn in a project, you're cut from the class. Which is a shame, as next week's theme is even more amazingly fantastically hip than this week. I'll report any no-shows to either the hottest woman alive or the scariest motherfucker on planet Principal Conner or Professor Jerusalem, depending on who's more likely to disembowel you on that day. They get to vent, I get amusement, and (contingent, of course, on survival) you learn to never cut class again.

EDIT: Also, if your partner happens to be a flake, go ahead and dress yourself. We'll pick new partners on thursday. But before you post, try and get in contact with your partner one last time. There's always the chance they've been temporarily abducted/eaten/body-hijacked. But that's no excuse for skipping the best class at FH. If they haven't gotten back to you by wednesday, then tough bognuts to them. I was asassinated twice last week, saved a world, blew up another world, and still managed to make it here.

[ooc: Translation - Post your presentations here. If they are not posted before Thursday at 4, you are considered a no-show and aren't in the class anymore. Remember, you're presenting the outfit you made your partner wear, and vice versa. If you didn't see last week's class because of backlog, the link is posted above, and I always add my classes to my memories.]

Lifestyle: Participant review and new student signups

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

rory__gilmore told me that she had to withdraw from my class, and I understand from elsewhere that magitekboy has had to withdraw from school.

I understand that _fleurdelacour, _steele_ and comewillingly have also left school.

That leaves me with eight students: caroline_todd, lauraholt, neptune_wallace, pure_blooddraco, rosefern_todd, ___lily_evans_, deirdreofamber and ihatedenmark. Seven of you either did an essay this week, or turned up to the seminar -- many did both -- but I haven't seen rosefern_todd at all this week. News would be welcome, before I pass her name on to the principal.

All this means that I now have some vacancies. I'm looking for up to five new students, so please tell me in one hundred words why I should accept you onto a lifestyle course. You need to mention not only how it would be useful to you, but also how you can be helpful to the group as a whole.

Introduction to Political Science

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Explain to me in detail the difference between a presidential democracy and a parliamentary democracy. What are the similarrities? What are the pros and cons of each type?

*passes out the writing assignment and appears to be in somewhat of a hurry to end class early today*

CELT 100 Lesson One

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Feasgar math.

I see you have made it. This is CELT 100, Celtic Languages. In this class you will learn rudimentary Scottish Gaelic, its roots, idioms, derivation, and relationship to other Celtic languages. Hopefully language tapes will be made available to you before long. If you still wish to join the class, simply indicate your desire to do so and complete today's homework. I will be in my office if any one has any questions or needs help.

( Yes, I actually have a lesson. )

'S mise Camulus. Co thusa?

[[OOC: I'm a Celtic studies major, so this is really for my benefit. Feel free to mime handing in homework without actually writing anything.]]

Comparitive Religions

[gandalfglamdrin.livejournal.com]

Good evening, and welcome to the class tonight.
I hope you have your homework from last class done, and a large thank you again to Rogue, for handling that for me.

Sit, enjoy the food, please...

and we will discuss the basic tennents of Buddism.

Can anyone tell me what those are?

East Asian History- #7

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

East Asian History
Tuesday 6:00-8:00 pm

Seimei was not in class this time. The blue butterfly flitted around the classroom to draw attention to the scroll stretched across the front of the blackboard and then the sign up roster on his table at the front of the classroom.

She landed next to it, her wings opening and folding slowly.

Discussion question –

In 352 B.C, Lord Shang from the Chi’in dynasty rose to preeminence as chief minister. What key military strategy did he institute on the Chinese population and what impact did it have on the old hereditary nobility?

CELT 120 Lesson One

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Hmm. This class appears to be more popular than I had first imagined. No matter. Welcome to 'Arthurian Traditions', my name is Professor Camulus. *pauses* *grins* And despite reports to the contrary, I will not in any way harm you. Physically, at least. If you still wish to sign up for the class, simply indicate your desire to do so and complete the homework. Now that that’s out of the way, on to the course.

King Arthur is a semi-mystical figure who is often resurrected in myth when the need for a hero is strongest. Part of the myth surrounding Arthur is that he will actually rise from death in times of crisis. In this course, we will look at the factual evidence for the existence of Arthur, the literary works in which he is mentioned, the themes and symbolism of various aspects of the myths and legends surrounding him. We will also talk about common supporting characters, such as Merlin, Morgan le Fay, Mordred, Guinevere, Lancelot, and various and sundry Knights of the Round Table. We will also look not only at historical myths of Arthur, but also at his appearance in literature and pop culture closer to this time period.

There will be no lecture for today. Your homework for tonight is a short paragraph with the topic sentence "I am Arthur, King of the Britons."

*pauses* Your assignment may not include the words "swallow" or "coconut".

I mean it.

Cookery course is open again.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Slartibartfast goes into his classroom, takes a briefcase out of his locker, and places it carefully in the middle of the floor. He cautiously leans forward and, with the tip of one finger, flips the catch open, and leaps backwards through the door into the corridor.

Inside the room, the vast kitchen unfolds itself without a sound. Slartibartfast peers in. Everything is in order.

Okay, the cookery lab is now open for the next three days or so. I'll be around intermittently with advice and help, but if I'm not about please feel free to come in, attempt some cookery, and help out your fellow cooks.

It's open for students, teachers and other staff, without a requirement to have previously registered.

Please remember what I said before: Anyone seen attempting to cook or eat one of the other students or staff will be given an instant detention.

Also bear in mind that my colleagues principalconnor and jerusalem_s have had a few things to say about weapons, and I'm sure the two of them will take a dim view of things if any of these knives find their way out of my classroom. As indeed will I.

I'm sure I can trust you all to behave if I'm not here. Enjoy your cooking.

Junior Achievers Meeting

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Outside of Dr. Carter's classroom a handwritten sign says:

Junior Achievers Meeting

For founding members and Faculty Advisor

Topics to include:

Finalizing membership list
Discussion of new members
School Projects

Free food provided

The door to the classroom is wide open. Inside, Angelus can be found sitting at one desk sideways, with his legs stretched out to rest on a chair one row over. He's writing in a notebook. On the teacher's desk is a box of sugar cookies.



[ooc: Mun is still on and off sick, so feel free to talk amongst yourselves, assume Angelus is quiet, etc. I'm here, just might not be as posty as normal]

Fencing Club

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

I'm told that battousai_kun has entered the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns, which means that he's probably either feeding the tentacle monster in the basement, or feeding us through the cafeteria's horrifying creations. I've grudgingly taken over as head of the club with alchemic_bean as my assistant. Under Principle Connor's new rules, this is the only place you'll be able to handle any kind of sword at all on campus, so join if you want practice. I have no knowledge of the oriental schools that Himura was schooled in, but I can teach what I know about classical fencing, both in foil and/or épée.

Since many students have either disappeared, been eaten, or been thrown out of school since the last sign-up sheet went around, anyone still alive who's still interested in this noble sport may add their name to the list. Having your own gear is preferable, although I can send Edward on a hunt for some for those who do not have their own foils.
