Criminal Justice, Class 19

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Quiz on Thursday. As always, you'll have until next Tuesday to do it if something comes up this week, but I'd like to get all of them in by Saturday. Today's topic was kindly provided by can_be_more a few weeks ago. I just didn't have a chance to use it until now. And I'm putting out an open call: if you have any movies/TV shows you'd like to see adapted for this class, send me an e-mail and let me know your idea. Most of the best classes have actually come from me running with something someone else mentioned. Class Info Post that is in desperate need of an update.]

*Tick is sitting behind his desk. He may look slightly distracted. This may be because of the sheet of paper on his desk. At the very least, he seems to be concerned about something. Lockheed is on his normal shelf. He looks slightly embarrassed about something.*

Hello, class! A couple orders of business to take care of before today's discussion. First, Rory has posted the grades for your projects on the wall. You all did very well and took great advantage of the extra credit opportunities that were provided to you! That was definitely the proof that I was hoping for that you're all getting something out of this class! You took a problem, looked at it logically, made notes on the logic, and then you gave the whole thing a spin that was all you! If you have a problem that typical solutions won't take care of, then you have to look for an atypical solution. You did just that, even if your solution wasn't successful. The important thing is that you expanded your minds! Well done, chums!

Second, remember, there will be a quiz on Thursday. Three questions, all short essay. After that, we're looking at one more lap around the track before we get to our Final Exam in a few weeks!

Okay, so today's class is back to the Real World. I've read some troublesome film reviews reports from the 1980s about a certain class from a big city's police academy. *The Tick stood up and passed out copies of these reports to the class before returning to his desk.* Apparently, this city was in desperate need of new police officers, so they drastically lowered the requirements for joining the police force.

Study Hall -- Tuesday, November 15th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

The doors to the study hall have been propped open, and the puppies and kittens have taken to bounding up to newcomers and rubbing up against everybody's legs for petting and stealth cybernetic bioenhancement checks. The pool table isn't in the room, but there are decks of cards and chess boards on the front desk for any students done with their schoolwork for the day.

Sarah sits at the front desk playing a handheld electronic Battleship game. Needless to say, she's kicking ass.

Biology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

*The students are greeted by a surprise quiz.* Please complete it, sign the roll, and leave. I'm afraid I'm not feeling too well today.

*Ms. Sidle stays behind her desk.*

[ooc: Same responses as before. Mun is feeling ill today.]

Shop Class

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Upon entering the room the students will notice that it looks like just a normal shop classroom.

Except for the fact there are a bazillion batteries sprawled out over two tables, including everything from a watch battery to a car battery.

Another table appears to have every electronic component that you can purchase at a NPC Radio Shack.

"Today's lesson/Challenge: Create a battery powered device that will make your life easier in Fandom. No Weapons."

Speech

Journalism Class - Tuesday November 15

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Class today is cancelled.







((OOC: I'm training a replacement at work this week and will be on vacation next. I will try to put up class posts either before I leave for work or after I get home from here on out as I will not have much in the way of internet access during the day for a few weeks. Thank you for your patience.))

Language classes, 11/15

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

The same juice and pastries that greeted Dream's Monday class are there today, though he seems somewhat less cheerful.

"Hello.

Languages of Europe: We're going to learn the French alphabet and numbers one through 20 today. Also, I have gathered that several of you have studied French before; if this is true for you, please note it when you sign in so I may gear my lessons accordingly.

Cat class: Grooming rituals are an important part of being a cat. From the earliest bonding with the mother, to the postures and techniques used in bathing as an adult, it remains a preoccupation. I will be transforming with you today to demonstrate the symbolism of different fur-cleansing techniques.

Finally, actingltcrumpet and julianlawless did not complete their midterms and will receive detentions."

The Doctor's Office Hours: Tuesday

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Ten is not particularly thrilled with life today. He reads the news online and scowls at it.]

[muttered under his breath] They'll never find him.

[Trouble's never far, is it. He watches the video of the press conference again, then closes the window in disgust, before starting to type something in a rather determined manner.]


((particularly for valentine_tart later today, but open to all.))

Introduction to Western Literature, Lesson Four

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Tuesday, November 15, 1:00PM FST

[Students entering the classroom will notice two things: first, that Professor Chaucer is busy at his desk writing, and second, that he looks as though he may have been in some sort of fight. Once everyone is assembled, he stands and addresses the class.]

( Introduction to Western Literature, Lesson Four )

Professor Chaucer, Office Hours

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

On the off chance that there are still people around who actually want to speak to Professor Chaucer, he can be found holding office hours before and after class today.


[OOC: This is currently a placeholder, as I will not be steadily online until after 5:00PM EST. Feel free to post here before that time if you like, and I'll comment as I'm able.]

Library, November 15

[swerval_zero]

((Let's see if I can get this in the right place this time...))

Zero is behind the desk, reading Vogue with the air of someone conducting an anthropological survey into an unknown segment of the population.

Home Ec : November 15

[mrsvandekamp.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I hope you had a nice weekend. I brought Swedish Pastry Cake if anyone would like some. It has chocolate frosting and a smidge of pickled herring.

In class today, I'd like you all to report on your experiences with the pregnancy vests once you turn them in. I hope it was an enlightening experience for all of you because you carry him for 9 months in your womb, and then he grows up to be selfish little twerp who mows down innocent pedestrians and wants to play slap and tickle with the neighbor boy


Your assignment for Thursday: As you may have heard, that darling Sheriff Lamb has cracked the investigation into Miss Pryde's death wide open! I think it would be lovely to give him a little something to show him our gratitude. Please, using your Home Ec skills, make him a homemade gift to show your appreciation of his great efforts to keep us all safe. You may use any of the resources of the Home Ec Department!

Greco-Roman Archaeology

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Sitting at the front of the classroom, Daniel doesn't look too happy.

"I'd like to thank Ms Halliwell for handing in her homework on Thursday, as she was the only one. Just a reminder, people. Homework is not optional.

Now, if you've talked to anyone in my other classes, you know that I'm setting midterms. For you, it's an essay."

He turns to write on the board.

Discuss the nature and functions of Roman colonialization in Italy and the Western Mediterranean in Republican and early imperial times (4th Century BC to the 2nd Century AD)

"3000 words maximum, worth 40% of your grade and due in the lesson before Thanksgiving. This is your homework this week, and I'm also willing to give over class time this week. I'll be in the classroom, so I want you to sign in as usual on Thursday, but then you may go to the library to work, or whatever.

Failure to hand this in will result in an automatic detention, unless you've spoken to me beforehand with what I consider a good excuse, or you can provide medical evidence. Also to note: I won't mark anything that comes in past that date, so odds are you'll fail this semester.

Now. Any questions?"

Flight Club [Tuesday, early evening]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Even after a workout in the gym, Anakin was still in a bit of a Mood.

He didn't slam open the door to the Flight Club shed, but it's a near thing.

He took a deep breath, fired up the sim--still set with up with the Jedi Starfighter programming--and waited for the rest of the club to arrive.

"With the new regulations about off-campus travel, and my trip home this weekend, I didn't have a chance to talk with the Dean about how that might effect our work with actual flying. I'll get to that this week. I apologize for not doing so earlier."

He gestured at the flight sim. "You have been making some pretty great strides towards learning the way that the Starfighter flies. I've increased the difficulty of the programs tonight and included a few more combat runs." He rubbed his hands together. "One's so new I haven't even gotten a chance to try it."

Anakin cleared his throat. "Have fun, blow off a little steam. But as always, break the sim and we'll have to have a bit of a discussion."

Ash's Art Appreciation, Studio Session #18

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

Ash has built a fort out of pillows, and appears to be hiding in the corner. There appears to be a flag pole, and he indeed has a flag, which appears to be declaring something about snakes on a plane. He is sekriytly munching on buttery (fingerwiggle) toast, and is very much not doing anything OMGdirty in there. Seriously.

Since the Art teacher is predisposed, the students will have to fend for themselves. There is paper and sketching crayons, markers, and pencils of various shapes, sizes and colors. The chalkboard, surprise, has the instructions written on it.

"Draw something pretty."

Linguistics

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"As I'm sure you've all heard, I'm setting midterms," Daniel says, sitting on the desk at the front of the room. "And just a little tip for you? There are only three people in this class, so I do notice when you don't turn up."

"Right." He jumps off the desk. "For your midterm, I want a project on Noam Chomsky. Who is he, why is he important in linguistic, what has he written, et cetera, et cetera. 3,000 words, worth 40% and due in the lesson before Thanksgiving.

You have this week's lessons, and all homework until it's due in to do it. I'll be in the classroom on Thursday during class hours, which I want you to sign in to, even if you don't stay for it.

My prior warnings: don't hand this in, you get immediate detention and I reserve the right not to mark it, so it's highly likely that you will fail this semester. You can talk to me beforehand if there's mitigating circumstances, and I will accept medical evidence.

Any questions?"

Human geography #5

[notjustacabbie.livejournal.com]

This week we will begin looking at the effect of humans (or any other sentient beings) on their environment and start to explore cultural geography.

A study of human geography generally looks individually at the components of culture as systems. These systems, such as interaction with the environment, religion, agriculture, politics, social interactions, economics, music, language, architecture, and all that is culture, are then assessed collectively to define a culture. Culture, as a collective character of human beings, is learned and propagated through these systems.

Arthurian Traditions Lesson 13

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

[[In one of my more OCD moments, I made up a Class Info post. Check it out and tell me if something's wonky. And sorry for the copout on the lesson. The food here is out to kill me.]]

"Feasgar math dhuibh," Camulus says when the class has assembled. "You seemed to enjoy the movie last week. Because it took the entire period, today is when you get to pick your little brains and discuss what you thought. If there's one thing this class can do is discuss the relationships between men and women. Go wild. But not so wild that you cause paperwork."
