Journalism Class - Wednesday October 5

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Outside the door of the Journalism Classroom is a sandwich board which reads:

Emergency Political Headquarters for the Student Newspaper
Free food, drink and computer terminals within.

Inside, Spider is again distracted, working on something on his laptop. The screen behind him is lit up, however, and reads the following:

Attention Students:

Today's discussion topic, as most of you have guessed, is 'Ugliness'. I am going somewhere with this, be patient. I'm also not participating yet for a very specific reason.

The rest of the screens are dark and in the back of the classroom are several large coffee machines, a huge tray of various pastries and sandwiches and a small refridgerator and microwave. Arranged in that area are several computers obviously borrowed from the school lab and a large sign that reads:

Emergency Political Headquarters

Kickboxing aerobics. Each day, the pace is going up a bit, to keep people working.

Still cheerful. Very. One might suspect some sadism involved.

Governments I

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

I trust you all have been keeping up with your reading. Exam time is coming up so if you have not been, this is your one and only warning to make sure you catch up and then keep up.

We are now going to begin one of the major writing projects. Be advised that this will constitute a major part of your grade. I want you to select a government office role, whether it be president, kind, senator, governor, etc. It’s best to tell me which you have selected first before you begin your research. You will give me a detailed description of the position, the pros and cons, and what affect this role has on the public.

Geology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

Good morning. I'm not feeling particularly creative today, so I have elected to bore you. *a pleasant smile* Coffee and doughnuts are in the back next to the roll sheet.

Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary or igneous rocks that have been altered by heat and/or pressure. As they are derived from previously existing igneous, sedimentary or even metamorphic rock, their appearance is variable. They are identified by the types of minerals they contain and their texture. Thermally metamorphosed rocks occur bordering igneous intrusions, which altered the surrounding rock originally because of their intense hear, resulting also in the formation of new minerals such as andalusite and garnet. Regionally metamorphosed rocks occur in the roots of mountain ranges, where intense pressures and high temperatures formed platy minerals (e.g. mica) and high-pressure minerals (e.g. staurolite).

In today's lab, you will be listing the individual properties of each sample I'm placing before you. And excellent job on Monday's assignment--these rocks will probably look quite familiar.

Language classes, Wednesday, Oct. 5

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream gives the same lecture to all of his classes today.


You have all been working very hard on the vocabulary and grammatical structures of the varied languages we are studying. I appreciate that.

Today, we are going to step beyond language itself into the way language affects culture. This concept is known as ethnolinguistics. For example, different cultures express spatial difference in different ways. In many societies, words for the cardinal directions East and West are derived from terms for sunrise/sunset. However, Eskimo speakers of Greenland, base their names for cardinal directions on geographical landmarks such as the river system and one's position on the coast. Similarly, the Yurok lack the idea of cardinal directions; they orient themselves with respect to their principal geographic feature, the Klamath river.

Some researchers feel that our language limits what we can percieve about the world. This is known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. For your homework for next Monday, I would like each of you to write a short paper considering the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in relationship to the language you are studying. Read this handout for more information on the theory.

[OOC: Classes in comment threads. There will be a separate homework thread on Monday.]

Dru's Classroom: the formation of a new club

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

After his meeting with Grissom, Angelus made his way to Dru's classroom. He smiled. She'd left it for him to open, just as she'd promised.

He opened the door, switched on the lights, searched Dru's supplies for some poster board, then got to work.

It was going to be a long day.

Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran) - #12

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran)
Wednesday 1:00-3:00 pm

Already at his table, Seimei is reading over the essays turned in, his brush working sporadically as he made notes. The discussion scroll is up.

As the Roman and Germanic Peoples and cultures blended after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Franks played an especially significant part in this process of cultural fusion.

The Kingdom of the Franks was the most enduring of all the Germanic states and it became the center of a new Europe.

Discuss the Christian conversion of the Franks and why it is considered to be one of the most significant events in European and Western history.

“I’m almost finished grading essays and will have some form of grading for you by Friday,” Seimei said, not looking up from reading.

The Library is Closed

The library has remained conspicuously closed today. No notice or warning. If you press your ear to the door, you might hear the librarian snoring. He's really got to get his own place.

Sociology 310 and 500 Class Meetings

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

SOC 310: Death and Dying

Your presentations on the burial customs of any society are due today. Please share your findings with the class, and any students who would like to ask you a question may do so.

For next class, please read this excerpt from The Savage God by A. Alvarez


SOC 500: Deviance

Today in class, we will go around in a circle, and you will each share your discussion questions that you culled from your research into your project topic.

After, I will give an introductory lecture on Michael Foucault.

For next class, I would like you to read Foucault's Discourse and Truth: the Problematization of Parrhesia, you will be asked to discuss several topics from it in class next week. You may be quizzed on the material.

Also, big honking sign on the door -

ATTENTION ALL SOCIOLOGY STUDENTS: You have been invited by Ms. Sidle in the Science Department to attend a field trip next Thursday to the Body Farm, which I will also be attending. Anyone who is interested in coming along must sign up below. Crimininology students, class will meet after the trip.

Lifestyle course: Essay for next week

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Okay, this week I am going to set an essay, after I forgot my cunning ploy of refraining from doing so didn't spark huge and entertaining arguments in class last time round.

This week, we're going to be exploring alcohol. In particular, the ways in which alcohol can enhance -- or, alternatively, detract from -- one's lifestyle.

Please put your essays -- one hundred words, as before -- into the tray here by Saturday evening, and we'll study the topic in greater depth on Monday as before.

I'm intending to do some serious research into this matter on Friday afternoon, so please keep an eye out for me in town.

Edit: Thanks to a number of people dropping out or leaving school, I've got vacancies on this course. If you want to sign up, just leave me an essay like the other students. You'll be expected to join in the seminar on Mondays. Participation, marks and grades will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

Cookery course is still open.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Slartibartfast looks at his classroom kitchen, at ease with the world.

Well, since I didn't fold away the kitchen last week, and no-one seemed to mind when the Lifestyle seminar took place round a kitchen table, I'm going to leave it open 24/7 for a while and see how things go.

Please feel free to come in and attempt random acts of cookery. If I'm around I'll pitch in and help with advice, but if I'm not you're all entirely capable of helping each other.

Oh, and don't misuse the equipment. Remember that those knives are to be used for culinary purposes only. And don't attempt to cook each other.

Thanks to the generosity of the school chef, we now have extensive quantities of ingredients in the cupboards -- just have a root around and see what you can find. Some of the ingredients have been a bit surprising, but that's Chef for you.

Oh, and someone please feed the Chickens, if there are any that haven't been cooked yet that look hungry.

He wanders off, muttering something about alcohol.

Psychology Class - Cancelled (10/05/05)

[crazyvampchick]

A small note tacked up outside of the Psychology classroom reads as follows:

Class For Today Is Cancelled

I am looking for a teaching assistant. Please leave a message on my voice mail if you wish to apply. Note: This position is not for those with delicate constitutions.

Resurrection of Into the Black (Flight Club)

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

With the disappearance of Wash, and Kaylee, and, um, half of the original club, I wanted to see if there was still any interest in a Flight Club. Wash's old ship is still in Jayne's backyard and it looks like it might actually be able to break orbit, and our advisor Professor Amidala has this totally sweet ship from her home world that she'll let us up in.

It's pretty busy for the rest of this week, with Homecoming and the student council debates and all, so I was thinking we could meet up next Tuesday if that works for everyone.

Please let me know if you're interested in joining up so that I can get the administration a copy of our roster and we can all get extracurricular activity credit.

FANDOM HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL DEBATES

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Good evening from the Fandom High auditorium. I'm CJ Cregg and I'll be moderating the Student Council debates.

Our Format tonight will be as follows:
Students and teachers alike will ask questions of the candidates. [Please submit your questions to the moderator via the appropriate thread] Each candidate
will respond to the question in turn, and I will call on each for their response.

After each candidate has gone, any one may request a further rebuttal to address
a point made by an opponent, the granting of which is at my discretion. The press will have full access and are also encouraged to
contribute questions.

In the case of no opponent, the same format will
apply, although the rebuttals will be unnecessary for obvious reasons.

( Now, allow me to introduce our candidates. )

I ask that anyone who wishes to be a write in candidate remain in the audience, and feel free to question their opponent...making clear the potential as a candidate. All responses, please be concise. This is a venue to discuss qualifications, not to sling mud. Let's have a nice clean debate. Let's go gang.



((ooc: respond in the appropriate comment thread in order to keep this organized. thank you))

Quantum Physics 123: Wednesday 5 October

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor smiles as he enters the classroom, smelling faintly of grilled beef and malt vinegar. He perches on the desk.]

Today we're going to continue our discussion from Monday. Mr Crichton had a good point when he speculated that Fandom High is a crossroads of sorts between our different worlds. Do you think that we now currently exist in all of those worlds? None of them? Or perhaps just slightly askew dimensionally?

It's an interesting thought to ponder. Let's talk about the consequences of that--just in general terms, no need to get overly scientific.

Oh, and as this weekend is Homecoming and you'll be drinking and snogging instead of studying, and so will I, I'm not assigning any homework this weekend--BUT there will be some assigned on Monday. I'll also get last week's homework back to you then because I was too 'busy' last night to finish it.

Class 7: A Field Trip

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

Jareth walks into the classroom looking like he means business. He's dressed in black leather with spiky bits, matching gloves, and a shiny black walking stick.

"Attention!

"All students who have turned in their permission slips, line up here." He strikes the ground in front of him, then turns and opens the classroom door.

( Onward )

Fashion Presentations!

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

All fashion minded humanoids and specters,

Go ahead and present your projects here. A few things:

1. You must present your own project. Having a partner turn it in for you is a no go, as half the grade's in how you jab about the whole mess.

2. Professor Tick...does anyone else see a tick? I swear, he looks more like this thing I saw in a hent- Erm, strike that. Professor Tick has informed me that the sidekick's name is up to aforementioned bait-in-training. While you may suggest names extra credit if they amuse me, and even design with a name in mind, the final choice is up to Gilmore.

3. If you don't turn in a project, you aren't considered present, and you get detention for skipping. It's a wound to my already faltering pride daddysaidI'dneverbeanythingwhydoesn'tanybodylovemewherethehellaremypants?.

4. If your partner designed an outfit with heels, quit grumbling, and work it. Most of you wear them in secret anyway.

Begin!

Wildcrafting Club Meeting, Wednesday Evening

[studentwillow.livejournal.com]

Willow waits in front of the closed door of the library, looking slightly haunted. She's dressed in jeans and layers, with a flannel pullover wrapped around her waist. An empty basket for specimens dangles from her hand, and in her knapsack are a rather heavy tome on magical plants, a dogeared copy of Peterson's Field Guide to Medicinal Plants, and a notebook for notetaking and sketches. Her white socks are tucked over the bottoms of her jeans, making her look either (take you pick)

(a) like a huge dork
(b) cool, circa 1985
(c) like someone who doesn't want to get Lime's Disease

[mycanonhatesme]

After the debate, Chloe quickly gets up from her seat and stands by the door, videocamera in hand, ready to accost question the students. As people leave, she grabs as many folks as she can, to ask:

1) What did you think of the debate?
2) Did anything you hear tonight change your mind about who you're voting for?

[OOC: Chloe's doing this for the paper, and basically, she'll be grabbing anyone who makes even the vaguest eye contact with her. *g* For simplicity's sake, if you have an answer for these questions, just leave a comment here, and we'll say Chloe got to you.

Also, special apologizes to Jake-mun - I wrote down the questions you gave me...and then left them at work. *facepalm* It's just been one of those days.]
