Criminal Justice Class 6

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Class Info Post.]

*There are some stray wires and a plastic bag filled with glue, rubber bands, and duct tape on Tick's desk, but there is no droid in the class. Tick presumably has some repairs to make later on.

For now, though, Tick stands at the podium, more normal-seeming than usual. It seems somewhat unsettling.*

*Tacked to the biology class/lab door is another note.*

Guys,

Study Hall -- Thursday, September 29th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Thursday's study hall. I'm in a good mood today because it's the mun's birthday -- woohoo!, so I promise not to threaten anybody today. Well, unless one of you behaves like a fucking tool.

A couple of announcements:

-- Regarding the discussion in the weapons ban thread yesterday, nobody's going to go around to all of the magical students and inquire as to their abilities. They're already in the permanent school files from when you enrolled, remember? *grumbles* Little punks ... can't wait until every last one of you burns in the fires of nuclear war, you ignorant fucks ... (OOC: Hee. Isn't it scary that this is Sarah's GOOD mood? ;))

-- There will be a detention this weekend, so if any teacher wishes to be in charge of that, feel free to volunteer.

-- In case you haven't heard, fh_adoptions is open for business.

Soc 201: Criminology 9/29/05

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Today we will be discussing the Chicago School of Sociology and how it relates to the field we are studying.
History of the Chicago School
Handout on Further Reading if you'd like

Today, we will discuss in class Social Disorganization Theory

In the original study, the analysts found that even when new immigrant groups moved into an area due to stratification and other factors, juvenile deliquency rates remained at the same levels. Therefore, they supposed that it was not the "constitution" of a particular ethnic of economic group that caused deliquency, but rather the environment itself. One definition of the problem is "The inability of a community structure to realize the common values of its residents and maintain effective social controls."

Discussion question for class: How much do you believe environmental factors play into criminal behavior?

It is exam time again. Study Guide for Monday's Exam The questions will be taken from the first 25.

Music 101 (for Thursday)

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

Music 101


[OOC: If you don't show up for classes 3 weeks in a row, I'm just going to assume you don't want the class anymore and I'll take you off the enrolment list. No biggie, but just letting you know! This class is very laid back because Ted is very laid back. If it was me (the mun) teaching I'd run you all ragged. But all Ted expects you to do is show up and make a single comment. You can argue, agree, start a food fight, anything so long as you comment to show you have shown up to class. This class is played slow-time, so provided you comment by the time the next class post comes along you're counted as attending.]

Afternoon dudes!

*The classroom is set up so that there's a central round table with all of the chairs around it where the students can sit. It's best not to ask if Ted stole it off King Arthur.*

*Ted drops a new stash of junk food and cans of soda in the middle of the table where everyone can reach.*


This week we're gonna talk about what you little dudes and babes were supposed to do for homework. You all took a tape from the basket near the door, and I asked you dudes to listen to it and then come to this class and talk about what you thought of it. Hopefully this'll start some discussion. If not, I'll uh think of something!


This Week's Class Task: This week I just want you to say what you thought about the tape you picked. If you think someone's wrong about their tape, or if you agree, say so! Get talking. How many classes do you get where the teacher will let you talk all you want? Except Speech classes [OOC: Pick a song from the 70s or 80s and comment on it.]

Homework: Next week's gonna be about music in movies. So watch your favorite movies and come prepared to talk about soundtracks, background music and theme music. [OOC: Really, pick a movie, any movie.]

Journalism Class - Thursday September 29

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

The screens in Spider’s classroom this morning are showing various scenes from around the school and school grounds. Various students are in the study hall, walking between the buildings, arguing, making out… just another average morning.

Spider’s desk is covered in maps and there are semi-transparent displays clustered around him as he rummages. Before the desk, on an easel, is the following notice.

Students:

Today we’re going to discuss the student election process because, to date, I haven’t seen any process at all. Do the candidates have stated public platforms yet? Have there been debates scheduled? Do we have a date for the elections themselves? What, exactly, are the duties and powers for the various positions?

Discuss and/or ferret out the answers.





((OOC: There will be a later post regarding tomorrow’s field trip. I have to go back and check who signed up to go and whether they all really have turned in their permission slips. I also have to go back and respond to students in yesterday’s class because last night got a little out of hand so I didn’t get back to that – and my deepest apologies.))

Looking for a new Band Practice TA

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

Uh, so, Really Short Dude (bloody_rockgod) left the school, so now I don't have a Teaching Assistant. If anyone wants the job, leave me a voicemail about it. You'll have to join Music 101 and/or Band Practice (if you haven't already) because most of the TA work is done in class. I will take a different TA for each class if there's two people who wanna do that.

Perks:
* You'll get a shiny key to the instrument closet
* You get to put stuff on my tab down at the Kwik Stop (pending approval, if not you get to take stuff out of petty cash to spend at the Kwik Stop all the time)
* You get to use any of the music equipment whenever you want
* And uh, I pay for overtime with junk food.

[edit: The positions have been filled. Thanks dudes!]



Oh, and if anyone still wants to join Music 101 (12pm-2pm Thurs) or Band Practice (chronofluid), go over here and sign up dudes.

Home Ec 101

[mrsvandekamp.livejournal.com]

Welcome everyone to class. I made a jello mold if anyone would like some. It has pineapple!

Today we will continue to study pet care, although a more traditional sense. Today we will talk about taking care of cats.

Lecture on Proper Cat Care
And a lecture on all the awful things cats do to your furniture, etc. (And they stink.)

In class today, we will be applying our skills.


Meet Sarah and Spider, our class mascots!


Be careful, Sarah's sword may be miniature, but it is quite sharp. Leaves one nasty little paper cut, but I have antibacterial gel, neosporin, band-aids, gauze, and duct tape in my purse if she gets a little rough with you. It's so teeny tiny and cute though, I figured it would pass under the weapons ban. I made her leave the mini-cat AK-47 at home.

This is the Home Ec lab, so feel free to demonstrate any of your cat care skills! I'll be grading you on your effort.

Thursday's Anthro Classes

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Greco-Roman Archaeology:

I reset attendance and homework. From now on, it's going to be consecutive misses instead of cumulative to get you into detention. So three consecutive misses and four consecutive days without handing in homework = detention.

Today we're going to watch a video on temples. Please try to stay awake.

Homework: A summary of the video would be nice.[ooc: Just...yeah, no need to actually write a summary]

-----

Linguistics:


I reset attendance and homework. From now on, it's going to be consecutive misses instead of cumulative to get you into detention. So three consecutive misses and four consecutive days without handing in homework = detention.

And today we're working on more of that crazy Herodotus' Histories. I hope you are all enjoying it so far. We're jumping around like crazy, so that we can read a translation of The Aeneid and I'm trying to look for a piece that's in Egyptian for the last third of class.

Homework: Continue analyzing, this time reading pages 50-80 for Monday.

Martial Arts Class 4

[bridekiddo.livejournal.com]

(OOC: pretend I posted this yesterday. I was sick and all sorts of craziness was going on)

Beatrix sets up the mats, now it's really time to start getting into some actual martial arts with the students.

"Does everyone remember their partners? If not you may select new ones."

Abnormal Psychology (9/29/05)

[crazyvampchick]

The blinds are still drawn tight and the windows are blacked out again in today's classroom. The lighting is dim, and the blackboard is plastered over entirely with pictures of zombies attacking the town and the school.

"Fear," says Drusilla, sitting cross-legged on top of her desk. "Anxiety. Nervousness." She hugs Miss Edith to her. "When does it go from fear and into insanity?"

"There's also a quiz. And if you've missed the last class and this one, there will be a detention for you." Drusilla's girlish laugh echoes in the classroom. "I've heard wonderful things about how the last detention was run."

OOC: Post within the next day or so and you should be fine without detention. The quiz is in a separate thread in the comments.

History of the Ancient World - #7

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

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

Seimei strolled in, sipping from his tea. At his desk, he assembled his scroll for the class discussion.

Discussion question:

Compare and contrast the ancient Macedonian culture versus the ancient Greek culture, 356 – 323 B.C.

“Your essays assigned on 20th are now due.” Seimei gestured to the corner of his table where they should be placed before the students leave the class.



((ooc: Same note as for World History. Just make comment that you did the essay question or not. No need to answer the question unless you have no life want to.

And who's bright idea was it that we all had to work for a living instead of being able to play online?))

Independent Study Meeting

[swerval_zero]

*Zero arrives at the library at 6:30 sharp, armed with a backpack full of scientific collection equipment, a notebook, and the croquet mallet. She sets up camp at one of the large tables and waits for the others to start filtering in.*

edit: (ooc: We're going to slow-play this, because everybody's busy. Just so you know.)

Fashion: Dress the sidekick!

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

All right kids, today's class is going to have some serious cross-curricular action. After some lengthy try-outs, bugofjustice, our resident man-bug...beetle...thing, has picked a moving target sidekick. He's asked us to design the outfit.

This is the hostage in training we're going to be humiliating dressing:



Kind of scrawny for a sidekick, but I guess they fling easier that way.

Design deal is same as before. You don't design the outfit for yourself, you design it for your partner. I guess these means the boys are gonna be dabbling in a little cross-dressing, but that was bound to happen sooner than later. This is fandom, as far as we're concerned, you're all in denial anyway. If you have to wear heals, you better work it. Do you think I complain when I have to wear hells? Frack no! I give it gusto, and make every woman in the room wish they had my legs.

Keep in mind that you are designing an outfit that is going to be worn by a tiny teenage girl. Also keep in mind a few rules of thumb about sidekicks:

1. They are, above all else, distractions. Keep the color bright.
2. They rarely have powers of their own. Build a few into the suit if you can. But keep the little weapons ban in mind. Defensive only. I swear, if you get me in trouble with Principal Conner, I'll blow up this planet myself. Sass that?
3. Comics code authority. Stick to the code man, stick to the code. If I see a nipple, you lose it.

Projects are due before next class. Work on them here, and I'll have a thread up next week for final presentations.

Anyone who skips my class joins Lana Lang in detention. And she's a crier.

A few more things:

1. Quinn Morgendorfer still owes me a 100 word essay about why I'm the cooler than her grandmother. It should be hagro biscuits to write it, given all you've got to work with. So hop on that, will you? If I don't get it by Monday, it's detention.

2. Given that Buffy Summers isn't allowed within a hundred feet of a JA member without getting detention, I'll waive the recommendation letter. You can stay in class, but you've got a detention for skipping class last week. Lose-lose situation, but you can't beat the irony.

3. As you can tell by the assignment, things worked out so that I don’t have to partner up with a student. Paige Matthews and Buffy Summers are still paired up, and Eddie Scissorhands and that Bagos kid are now a match made in testi-free heaven. I’m placing bets on when they first make out

*Plops down in the hippest manner possible, and waits to be entertained*

East Asian History - #10

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

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

Seimei makes note of those in class. He unrolls his scroll and then settles down at this table.

The government hierarchy beneath the Emperor during the Heian Era was built along the Chinese model. What was it and how did they modify it to suit their purposes?

“Your essays assigned on 19th are now due.” Seimei gestured to the corner of his table where they should be placed before the students leave the class.



((ooc: And just like in the other two classes, just make comment that you did the essay or not. No need to answer the question unless you have no life want to.))

Quantum Physics 305: Thursday 29 September

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor enters, looking tired, but above all, rather annoyed. He is aware of Ivanova's excused absence...and also aware that he now only has three students in class at the moment.]

I'm disappointed in those of you--that is, everyone EXCEPT Romana--who haven't turned in your homework...you'll be marked down if you get it to me today, but you'll still receive a mark. Be grateful.
((OOC: I do actually need a proposal from each person in this class. Just a sentence--where you'd like to go and study for your final project. Easy. So even if you HAVE turned in your homework, let me know.))

Now: the effects of time travel upon 'innocent' observers. As we know, physical effects are often the result of paradox, but also, an observer of a time traveller can have a varied mental state after contact.
Of course, an obvious prevention of this would to Not Be Stupid and actually avoid contact as much as possible. But this is generally not an option for the active time traveller. I, after all, am fairly notorious for my meddling--though this is unhealthy to the timeline. I'm starting to become aware of just what this does on a psychic level.
I suppose the real problem is what to do when one develops feelings--romantic OR platonic--for someone in a certain time, but cannot take him/her/hir with oneself upon departure. How does one explain where one is going? And what does this do to the mindset of the constant traveller?

Discuss.

BUY YOUR HOMECOMING TICKETS HERE!!

[iwasawesome.livejournal.com]

Alright, listen up kids. Homecoming is next Friday, and I know you're all super excited. This is the place to buy your tickets.

All I need is your name and your date's name, if you're buying for both. If you're date doesn't go to the school, you have to give their name and place of employment/residence, so my boyfriend Rover can check them out. And whatever the weapons ban status, you're responsible for your date following it. I have it on good authority that if any of you losers or your dates misbehave, there's going to be some shit hitting the fan.
If you're going stag, then just comment with your name. (Sorry if this wasn't crystal clear before.)


So, comment here- name, date's name, date's 'reference'. Otherwise, you're not getting to come. And believe me when I say that I throw a great party. Ask anyone.

Band Practice

Band Practice

How's it going, my good rocking student dudes?

So, uh, we've lost Really Short Dude. Not that he's gone missing or was eaten by a polar bear gremlin, but he's just gone. So we've got a new TA, Hyper Drummer Dudette (lane_drums)! Now she's got the spare key to the music closet. I keep Twinkies in there.


This Week's Class Task: By the end of today [OOC: by the time the class is posted next week] I want you all to decide on a band name. You can tell me this name once you're all decided either in class, or one of you can leave me a voicemail about it.
