Abe no Seimei's History Classes

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

Mitsumushi flitters in and flutters around a scroll stretching across the door of the History classroom.

Abe no Seimei regrets to inform the students of his history class that they are cancelled for the rest of the week. Enjoy the time off and expect to resume classes on Monday October 24.

He apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause but hopes the time away, for both him and the students will be productive and they can return to class with fresh minds and bodies to start again.

Art Appreciation, Studio Work #8

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Any students who are brave or foolhardy enough to show up for today's class will find the classroom deserted as Bad Ash is currently in Rover's custody and Callisto isn't coming anywhere near the place today.

[ooc: Mods and Admin- If this post is out of line just delete it and lay much smack down upon my head.]

Criminal Justice Class 12

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: I committed suicide by laughter last night. Therefore, today's class has been written by the Ghost of Tick-mun. WoooooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOooo! I'm a ghooooOOOoooOOOooost! Class Info Link.]

Hello, class! Today we continue with the Real World Justice theme. Today we look at the Southwestern United States. You may have heard some stories about this.

You might find these stories hard to believe, but before you question anything, chums, just remember who the new mayor of Fandom Town is. Not all of the people out there are actually human.

This is the story of a very hungry coyote and a swift, flightless bird.

Study Hall --- Thursday, October 20th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Sarah sits at the front desk, leaning back in her chair with her feet up and looking like she's asleep. There's a few gigantic boxes of donuts, hot coffee and tea for anybody else who arrives in study hall as early as she has, and while it may look as if she's perfectly harmless like this, there is a pile of rubber bands very near her hand. The threat that she'll shoot them at anyone who bugs her is obvious.

(OOC: Forgive the mun, but she's just started a new night job and will be sleeping through a lot of the day, so it's either a few days a week of study hall bright and early or study hall late and dark.)

Ash's Art Appreciations, Studio Session #9

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

::Ash sits, drumming his fingers on his desk, looking a bit agitated::

::He has set out a few large boxes of donuts, and there is a Mr. Coffee perkolating next to a stack of those lovely non-biodegrable styrofoam cups::

::There is, on another table, about one million popsicle sticks, glue, brushes, and a few bottles of various colors of paint::

::The board is heavily written on today::

"I was not in class the past three days. I am not responsible for what JackAss-Ash did. You will not hold it against me. You will accept the donuts and coffee as my bribe to just forget the whole thing. You will not ask why I have an evil twin. You will not ask what a guy does to keep himself occupied while tied up underneath a bed for three days. You will also note that I look better naked than my evil twin."

::He then realizes he hasn't written an assignment, and adds a few words::

"Make something out of the popsicle sticks. A log cabin, a smiley face, a large pointy weapon which I could use to go stab JackAss-Ash repeatedly, anything. Go Wild. Have fun. Don't hate me."

::He then snags a donut for himself, and chew thoughtfully::

Welcome to class everyone. I have cream cheese brownies and apple tarts for everyone.

You all did a wonderful job with your wigs Tuesday.

We are almost ready to start our Halloween costumes! Please think about what you'd like to do over the weekend. We will work on them next Tuesday and you'll have them completed on Thursday.

Today, we start small. Please design and build a costume for our class kitties! Here are some ideas for you. Please do not give Kitty Sarah any mini weapons, especially light sabers. It is on her Christmas list already.

If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask. I'll be in the office all day.

Announcements

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

The PA crackles to life with the by now traditional muttered cursing and backup chorus of 'ribbits'.

"Damn it all.... Okay, first? Professor Williams has been returned to duty and his evil twin is currently detained and under guard," Spider's voice drops to a mutter, "I hope." Clearing his throat, he continued, "Locker 327 has taken to playing the Best of Jefferson Starship and it is the opinion of school administration that this is, in fact, a trap. Professor Cregg will be taking detention this weekend - professors, please be certain to get your list of detainees to Principal Connor. All students are reminded that Parent's Weekend is coming up and to please contact Rory Gilmore with any information as regards your parents."

Library is open - 10/20

Methos is sitting at the circulation desk reading a stack of printouts. When someone approaches him, he casually closes the folder and places a book atop it. He's relaxed and calm.

Philosophy classroom: Thursday morning, office hours

[brambless.livejournal.com]

[ooc: posted now to take advantage of both TAs actually being online at the same time]

Tara sits in her office, pouring over the notes she and Angelus have made, scratching out names and rearranging them on a list. Faint noises of construction are audible at the back of the classroom.

Language classes, 10/20

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Hello.

Languages of Europe: Continue reviewing the Spanish verb forms from Tuesday.

Cat class: We have a special guest -- Jiji, who lives with kikidelivers. When he gets here, you will all transform, and then he will lead a Q&A session. I hope you find value in this exercise.

Journalism Class - Thursday October 20

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider is staring suspiciously at a bowl of cold cereal which is resting on the center of his desk. Beside it sits a box with a goofy looking cartoon character with a large, blue hat. Waiting until his students are mostly settled, he finally looks up to address them.

"We've dealt with a number of shifts in personality, disguises, extreme body modification and outright impersonations since the beginning of the term. A surprisingly small number of people have questioned any of these things or even caught on to them in a timely fashion and I'm becoming somewhat disappointed in the way that you, aspiring journalists, have ceased to question some of these issues. Professor Williams is a very good case in point. Mugged, impersonated...." Spider shook his head sadly. "You're supposed to be journalists, people whose job it is to get to the heart and truth of the matter, not only to expose the truth... but to discover the lies."

He prodded cautiously at the bowl, which continued to do nothing. "Exposing the hidden truth is the very heart of journalism. Reading the subtext, hearing the things which aren't said, learning to pick and choose the things that are true from an interview or investigation are what I'm supposed to be teaching you. I want every student today to make three statements. Two of them should be true, one of them should be false - all should be plausible. I want each student to examine the statements made by the others and decide which is the false statement."

Lifestyle: Essay Topic

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Slartibartfast is teaching his new friends, the frogs, to play cricket. Not much of a match in prospect with only nine players, but he's doing his best to hone their skills. He's introduced them to bowling and batting, having fashioned a wicket from toothpicks and bats from lolly (popsicle) sticks, and (after extensive trials) using dried peas as balls. He's particularly proud of two frogs in particular -- Croakers has incredible natural talent with the bat, and Hoppers has a reverse swing which is coming on very nicely, once the pea is a few overs old.

He takes a moment before the start of play on Thursday morning to write a note, which he pins to his classroom door.

Essay topic this week is "Sport". Please provide a hundred words on sport, on the positive and negative effects it can have on lifestyle. Essays in the tray here by Saturday evening, please.
The lifestyle course is open to new registrants -- if you want to join in our seminar on Monday, just drop an essay in the tray with the others.

He returns to the table, where the frogs are just emerging from the home-made pavillion ready for warm-up. He makes a mental note to fashion some whites for them -- playing naked isn't ... well, it isn't cricket.

Class canceled

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

So last night, I lost my head. I don't mean that metaphorically. I need to call some people, go to the clinic asap, and all other kinds of stuff. So today's class is canceled, and those of you who haven't yet posted an assignment can go ahead and do so here. As for those of you who did turn in:

lane_drums
other_logan

You both consistently turn in projects on a timely and thought out fashion. Nerds Good work, enjoy the week off.


Also, death_n_binky:

I hear you talking about ideals, and standing up for your beliefs, and I couldn't care less. Seriously, all I hear is "Blah, blah, blah." It's boring man, boring. That's the opposite of fashion. I've been president, and I know that looking good is more important that 'politics' or 'convictions' or whatever else you burn outs are smoking today. So stop whining, and do the assignment.

Office Hours - Thursday 20.10

[charlieeppes.livejournal.com]

Today Charlie is amusing himself by throwing office basketball and calculating probabilities while waiting for either his study group or Angelus to show up. Or someone else.

Abnormal Psychology (10-20-05)

[crazyvampchick]

The classroom is looking perfectly ordinary today. Professor Drusilla is sitting at her desk playing idly with a deck of cards and written on the board--whole and without any cracks on it--is an assignment.

Write a 100 word essay about what you've learned from the last class.

After you've turned it in, we'll begin discuss what you've learned.

There is a sign-in sheet on her desk.



OOC: We'll have separate threads for sign-in, essays, and discussion, as well as an OOC thread. As usual, due to the vagaries of time zones, everyone has until tomorrow to at least sign in and discussion can take...as long as it takes, basically.

Deep Thoughts (Thursday evening)

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin propped open the door to the Professor Logan's music room in preparation for the second meeting of the Deep Thoughts Club.

He had an instructional video under his arm and a sign that said "Emo Brigade members welcome."

He grabbed one of the nearest desks, sprawled into it and prepared to be emo bood think deep thoughts with his fellow members.

He also hoped Professor Logan hadn't gotten his hands on the banthabell CD.

Governments

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Today we're going to do some in class work on your papers. By the end of class, I'd like a preliminary outline.

You may form small groups if your chosen subjects are the same or similar to compare ideas, sources, etc. I will be more than happy to sit with any group for suggestions and help.

I'd also like to announce I am considering a field trip for the class and possibly a guest speaker in the near future. It all depends on your behavior.

Quantum Physics 305: Thursday 20 October

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor is reading the collected Back to the Future screenplays, occasionally highlighting the printout. It seems as if his left eyebrow is permanently raised. A sign on the classroom door reads:]

Today, in class, I want to do personal interviews with those who will be doing the final project this term. The rest can study until I'm free--first come, first serve.

[He goes back to his reading and hopes someone will fucking show up.]

Celtic Studies classes for Thursday

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

A large bag of Hersey's Kisses is sitting on the desk next to Camulus, and he looks about ready to break anyone who even thinks of touching it. Numerous shiny wrappers are spread all over the desk and floor. Susan Ivanova is hovering nearby, looking slightly unnerved.

"Good evening, class," Camulus growls. "Let's begin. For the Gaelic lesson today, I have procured some language tapes for you. There is are two pages of vocabulary contained on the tapes. Homework for tonight is to practice your pronunciation."

***

In Arthurian Traditions, Camulus pulls out a very, very thick copy of 'La Morte D'Arthur'. "If you will recall, I asked you to read an excerpt from Malory's text in preparation for our guest speaker. Susan Ivanova. Pay attention." He sits down and begins unwrapping Kisses, glaring at the class.

( Ivanova speaks. )

"Thank you, Ivanova," Camulus says. "Arthurian tradition extends so deeply into almost any human culture that you come across. Updates of the Arthurian legends and tales are constantly retold - usually when a culture is most in crisis. You'll see this when you look at when each romanticised version of the Arthurian legends are told. It was usually in times of great political upheaval when a coherent national feeling was needed. Homework tonight is to come up with other such heroes that might be symbolically ressurected in times of need. Ivanova will remain to answer any questions you might have."

[[Closest thing to showing a movie I could do. *considers asking Mac-mun for help* Iva/Cammie-mun will be on later tonight.]]

Thanks!

Philosophy, Week 1. Thursday, 2-4pm

[brambless.livejournal.com]

The philosophy classroom is comfortably appointed, with large, soft armchairs arranged in a circle, each with a wooden insert on one arm to lean on while taking notes.

"Welcome to 'The Philosophers'. The idea of this course is to explore the theories of history's greatest thinkers, and to make meaning of them by attempting to apply them to ourselves. In this environment, the difference between theory and reality takes on a whole new twist, and we'll be exploring things like the implications that precognition and time travel have for free will as the course goes on. Course credit will be gained primarily through class discussion, supplemented by a number of small assessments.

Today, however, we're going to start with possibly the most famous of philosophical statements: Cogito ergo sum. I think, therefore I am.

Rene Descartes, posed this question: what if the world around us is an illusion? What if it was all created by an evil demon (his words)? For a more modern parallel, which some of you might be familiar with, I cite to you The Matrix. The premise of this film, for those of you who have not seen it, is that we are all plugged into a machine, which feeds sensation directly into the brain, causing us to see, smell, taste, touch and hear. It is only when a being becomes unplugged from this machine that they realise everything about their life is a lie.

Descartes sought to identify what could be unequivocably known. He decided that he could not trust the things his senses told him, because he had no way of guaranteeing whether they were being tricked by a superior external force. He could not be sure whether any of his life experiences had happened, or whether he was brought into existence the moment before, complete with a lifetime's worth of memories. What he could be sure of was that he existed. The mere act of questioning his existence meant that there was someone to do the questioning. I think, therefore I exist.

Today's task is to identify what you can prove about yourself, and about the world we live in. Do I exist? Do you? How do you know? Are we all just fictional characters?

I turn these questions over to you for discussion."

Anth & Arch classes

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

A note is on the classroom door.

"Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to head to Colorado Springs for a couple of days, so classes are cancelled. I expect all of you to have done your reading by Monday/Tuesday. D. Jackson."

Starting a Small Business

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

No lecture tonight guys. I have some last minute party plans to make for Rory's surprise party tomorrow. I hope many of you will be attending.

Please turn in your homework from last week (your budgets) and we'll go over them next class.

CULTIVATION & GARDENING [1st CLASS] // OCT. 20

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

"Welcome to your new Cultivation and Gardening session! I'm Justin Quayle, and I'll be your instructor for the year, and I'll be the first to tell you that this class will be easy but challenging to those that don't try to do the work. Also, students are expected to attend my class in the appropriate clothing; such as, jeans or ratty pants that you don't mind getting soiled or an old t-shirt of some sort that you don't mind sweating in.

Gardening holds many demensions, it's more than just planting that tree and watering it, we all can learn from an Oak tree on how to survive, and we can also control the Earth's moving breath. This gardening session should ease your day, make you feel at peace with life or make you feel like you belong in this element."


Justin rounds the huge table up in the front of the room, a large bio-sphere is to the right of the room, enclosed in special materials that make it a mini-green house inside. Having chosen 'bulbs' as the first thing to start the students on, he takes out packets of seeds for them to plant this class and be able to help grow themselves.


"Please choose a plant to put into soil today, I will be asking you why to write about why you chose that particular Amaryllis and what you hope turns out for your little plant." he waves a hand to the pots at the side of the room and the bags of fertilizer, "Proceed at will and do not make a huge mess, we have angry janitors you know!"







[[OOC: Starting this now since it's 11 p.m. here and I'll be a busy person tomorrow. I'll be setting up threads for sign in, plant picking, and plant discussion of why you chose that plant. Give me a minute! *hurries!*]]
