Criminal Justice Class 21

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: For some reason, I don't think today will be much of a lecture day. Discuss or get flamed! Class Info Link.]

Lockheed was at The Tick's desk. Tick was nowhere to be seen. On the dry erase board behind the desk, the following was written in a careful but unnatural script:

Professor Tick out of town. Professor Lockheed is sub.

TODAY:

Reform is part of Justice. Go to jail. If you feel sorry, then you someday get out, become a decent person.

Is this Just? Do some crimes override reform? Should more happen to prove reform? Is stigma of being criminal good continued punishment?

DISCUSS REFORM AND ITS PLACE IN SOCIETY!

The grammar may have needed some work, but it was still pretty impressive for a non-English speaking dragon. When the students were done reading that board, Lockheed gestured to a side board. It read:

EXTRA CREDIT:

Give Prof. Lockheed a cookie.

History Classes (11-22-05)

[fandom-sub.livejournal.com]

Dewey is less hungover today, but he's also playing with a gigantic ape action figure and a small Polly Pocket figurine.

"GRAARGGH!"

"I love you non-fandom related giant ape creature on a mysterious island!"

"GRAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

East Asian History

Mr. S brings out his guitar and tunes it. "Today, I want to talk about NINJAS!" He strums the guitar and then proceeds to rock out:

( Hand puppet ninja! )

"So, respond to the song with your thoughts on ninjas and their relationship to samurai in the ancient futile Japanese society."

Biology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

Help yourselves to the snacks and please sign the roll sheet. As was previously announced, there will be no class on Thursday.

Today, we will be discussing the components of human blood.

Normally, 7-8% of human body weight is from blood. This essential fluid carries out the critical functions of transporting oxygen and nutrients to our cells and getting rid of carbon dioxide and other waste products. In addition, it plays a vital role in our immune system and in maintaining a relatively constant body temperature. Blood is a highly specialized tissue composed of many different kinds of components. Four of the most important ones are red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. All humans produce these blood components--there are no populational or regional differences.

Red cells, or erythrocytes are relatively large microscopic cells without nuclei. In this latter trait, they are similar to the primitive prokaryotic cells of bacteria. Red cells normally make up 40-50% of the total blood volume. They transport oxygen from the lungs to all of the living tissues of the body and carry away carbon dioxide. The red cells are produced continuously in our bone marrow from stem cells. Hemoglobin is the gas transporting protein molecule that makes up 95% of a red cell. Each red cell has about 270,000,000 iron-rich hemoglobin molecules. People who are anemic generally have a deficiency in red cells. The red color of blood is primarily due to oxygenated red cells.

E-Mail To Abnormal Psych Students

[romanywitch]

Okay, guys -

( Private For The Psych Students )

Here's the class roster as I understand it. Your previous teacher wasn't big on actual proper names either, so if I get it wrong, or ask for additional info, drop me a line.

( Abnormal Psychology Class Roster - Updated )

ETA: Oh, and guys? Call me Ms. Calendar. Calling me Professor will make me start looking around for some fussy old guy in black robes and a mortarboard.

OOC: All replies will be screened because no one else should be seeing the e-mail responses. Give me a holler if you're actually trying to break into Jenny's computer, though.

Shop Class, November 22

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As you walk into the Danger Room Shop, the first thing you notice is that the air is filled with the delicious smell of roasted turkey.

You then notice that Mac is cooking the turkey by hooking it up to a generator and letting the electric current do the roasting/shocking.

Also? The danger shop looks like a car repair shop.

Mac looks up from basting the turkey and points over to a very large refrigerator.

"In the refrigerator you'll find approximately 12 thawed turkeys. Your assignment today is to find a way to cook a turkey using the tools you would find here."

"I know you kids didn't sign up for Home Ec. But that's today's assignment. Now if you excuse me, I have yams roasting in a solar collector I built out back."

[OOC: Not sure if notifications are working yet. Ping me or E-mail me if you need a response]

Journalism Class - Tuesday November 22

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek is at Jerusalem's desk again, though he's rather more focused than he was Monday. He seems to be busy on a personal task, but still watching the classroom.

Please choose one assignment for the day (or do both to earn extra credit):

Write 125 words exactly on what you hoped to learn from this class and whether or not this has been acheived. Spider respects honesty and likes it when people hate him, so don't be afraid to say what you really feel.

or

Vacation is coming up. Homework looms. Write 100 words on how grateful you are that there's no journalism homework this weekend.

At the bottom, he's added:

I will not be fielding questions about the class over the break. Please see me today if there is anything you need.

Office Hours - Abnormal Psychology

[romanywitch]

Jenny is sitting in a bare office, and is typing happily away on her laptop, updating herself on all the new computer technology she's been missing out on.

ETA: The post is closed to new interaction. If you've already commented, then by all means, let's continue the conversation. But it's closed to anyone new. That's because I'm going to be sending out another email soon.

Library Open 11/22

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Does anyone need last-minute books for homework over the holiday?

ETA: Link drop for use by Radio People if desired. *loves on Janet-mun for thinking of it*

Language Classes, 11/22

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

There are juice and cookies on a table at the front of the room,

Hello.

Languages of Europe: Turn in your conjugation exercises.

In honor of Thanksgiving, we're going to spend today learning the French vocabulary for gratitude. I am sure you all have much to be thankful for.

Cat: Mr. McCoy has been called home, which shrinks our class size to three. I hope we lose no more students before the end of term.

I am passing out a poem about cats for you to read and discuss. It was written by one ( Commander Data )

Discuss how Data's observations line up with your own about being and relating to cats.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday; I will see you on the 29th, when a guest speaker should join us.

The Doctor's (School) Office: Tuesday Office Hours

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Yes, those are the strains of Johnny Cash coming from the Doctor's office today. Bloody deal with it if you need to see him. He's rather manic today, actually, as if he's had a good night's sleep for the first time in days.]

((Cally, this kinda means you. Or at least get him an email with your final project specs. As for the rest of you, Rhi's bored, which means Ten's bored, which generally leads to Havoc.))

Introduction to Western Literature, Lesson Five

Tuesday, November 22, 1:00PM FST

[Professor Chaucer is sitting in his usual spot behind the desk, writing. The room appears to have been decorated with dozens of multi-colored origami cranes.]

( Introduction to Western Literature, Lesson Five )

The following students have more than one unexcused absence. You need to see me immediately to discuss makeup work or risk failing the class. I will forgive one unexcused absence. More than that requires makeup work.

___lily_evans_: two absences
miss_thomasina: two absences
studentwillow: four absences

Arthurian Traditions Lesson 15

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

"Feasgar math dhuibh," Camulus says as class begins. "Since the beginning of this class, you've been exposed to several different accounts and interpretations of Arthurian legend, as well as doubtless other movies or books you have watched or read outside of class. Today I'll be introducing your final project. This is a class project, but I will be assigning individual marks based on participation and the work I see in class.

"In short, your assignment is to prepare a brief play. It should take the time of just about one class period. You can pick and choose which aspects of the legend you wish to use, whether focusing on the life of Arthur or the death of Arthur. Some things you might want to consider would be the Christian vs. pagan aspect of the tales, the gender roles especially those of women, the Grail quest, the deeds of the knights, and so forth. You can use outside sources. I expect some effort to be put into props and costumes. I want a complete script and bibliography handed in on the day of your presentation, which will be Thursday, December 8. That gives you just under three weeks to complete it."

He pulls out the class roster and looks it over. "Everyone must have a part, even if as a narrator if you so choose to have one. The current class roster which for all I know is wildly incorrect as I seem to be unable to keep track of my own students is:

future_visions
demonbelthazor
harried_potter
leeadama
scissors__
notsouledyet

You have this class to begin working on it, and I will give you a second class period the Tuesday before it is due." He looks around. "Get to work, people."

Study Hall, 11/22

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream is propped in an armchair, rereading a book in Arabian.

In honor of the holiday, he has put a variety of supplies -- including crayons, paint, pumpkins, socks, construction paper, apples, raisins, marshmallows and more -- for Thanksgiving Crafts on a table near the front of the room. A sign above them reads, "Do not throw the raisins. Happy Thanksgiving."

Office Hours [ GARDENING ] Nov. 22

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

Since classes are cancelled for the rest of the week, Justin opens his office to anyone who would want to come in and speak to him. He's trying his best not to yell at the computer in front of him, technology wasn't his strong suit.

Open Sociology Lab : 11/22

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Grissom opens the lab, still exceedingly chipper. He opens the shades and then pulls a boom box out of his bottom desk drawer, and cranks up Houses of the Holy.

He then drags two card tables out at the front of the class room.

One has a display on calculating time of death with blowfly and fleshfly development data.

One has two pies, Pumpkin and Cherry, that he, no shit, baked himself.


Pie, bugs, and Led Zeppelin. He's a happy, happy man.


[OOC: Come stop by! Bug him about anything. I am primed to write some bizarre scientific explanations for unusual phenomena today. What? I had a half day at work, and Passions starts in 20 minutes. *heh*]

Ash's Art Appreciation, Studio # Something

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

Ash stands in front of the class. Construction paper, plastic scissors, crayons, glue, feathers, sequins, beads, the whole very lot is spread out today. The instructions are, gasp, NOT on the chalkboard. When students arrive Ash holds up a piece of construction paper, and begins demonstrating.

"You put your hand on the paper like so." He places his hand on the paper. "Then you trace around it, and you've got yourself the basis for a HAND TURKEY, kids! Have fun! Go gobble-gobble wild!"

"Oh, and Jake Gavin? If you wanna turn in that extra credit, any time is fine. Any time."

Ash sits at his desk, and begins playing Tetris on his Gameboy. He looks up suddenly.

"Oh, and has anybody seen my fez?"

Home Ec 101 : Nov 22

[mrsvandekamp.livejournal.com]

Welcome class. I didn't bring any snacks, because today in class we are going to Prepare a Thanksgiving Meal!

This way, if you are staying on campus you can make your own meal, or assist the person cooking for you so no one dies from eating your undercooked turkey becomes ill.

First, please watch my demonstration on preparing an apricot-glazed turkey with roasted onion and shallot gravy.

Then I'd like you to make a side dish of your choosing. You may work alone or in groups. Stuffing, cranberry sauce, green bean salad, hot rolls, a casserole, a pie... we have all the ingredients. Have fun, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

*Bree hands all of her students a box as they go, filled with holiday themed decorations for their table, whether they want it or not. Stupid napkin holders, weird centerpieces, themed tablecloths, window hangings... you're stuck with them.*

[OOC: If your character desperately needs holiday meal prep help, feel free to crash class. Bree is very friendly if just slightly psychotic, and in theory you could smell the food passing by in the hall.]

Flight Club meeting [Tuesday early evening--plenty of time before Caritas]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin opened up the door to the flight simulator shed and set up the chairs for another movie. With the excitement leading up to the holiday, he didn't really expect a lot of drama at the club tonight.

He looked over at the crowd. "Couple of things. First of all, I talked with Dean Bristow and he's okay with us doing some actual flying as long as we don't break atmosphere. Not great for flying space-based stuff, but until we're good to go on simulators, I don't really want us crashing into the sun and dying anyway. There is a new shop in town--Ivanova knows the owner--that's willing to teach us how to fly airplanes, which is very cool. We'll be having a trip over there after the holidays."

He gestured at the simulator. "I've set her controls for a YT-1300 Corellian stock freighter. You might know the type better as what the Millennium Falcon began life as." He smiled at Han. "Not quite sure what you've done to her controls, but I'm guessing they're not exactly factory-spec any more."

He cleared his throat. "And if you want a chance to head off world for the holiday, Han has room for up to three people to go with him back to a planet called Deneb. If you've always wanted to stand on a planet that isn't this one and you can convince your guardian that you should totally be allowed to go, well, here's your chance."

He pointed over at the movie screen. "And if your brains are too fried to even thinking about flying tonight, I've brought out a movie called Pearl Harbor. The history, I've been told, isn't exactly accurate and there's really no way the pilots could shift that quickly from flying fighters to flying bombers, but the explosions are cool and the nurses are kinda hot."

Charlie is going home today.

He's happy and munching chocolates.

Cookery class

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

It's late. But the professor has been fighting the crowds in the shops.

He staggers into the kitchen, bowed down by the weight of a large turkey and several bags of assorted vegetables and the wherewithall to make a variety of desserts.

Why they call it Thanksgiving, I'll never know.

He hauls the turkey over to the table and drops it there. He leaves the other stuff, still in bags, on the floor nearby. He slouches over to the coffee machine and starts making himself a triple espresso.

I'll be thankful when it's over.

The machine starts doing its thing. The professor goes back to the table, and starts sorting through the bags.

(OOC - Mun is away -- NPC the professor as required)

Human geography #6

[notjustacabbie.livejournal.com]

A geographic approach to tourism represents a distinctly different emphasis from the traditional business approach to the travel industry. The traditional a business approach to travel focuses on an industry that must be efficiently managed for maximum sustainability of profit.

The tourism geography approach, by contract, focuses on both the geographic setting of the process of tourism, and upon the intimate connection of the "inner" tourist experience with the "external" geography present at the destination. The geographic approach to tourism begins with a focus on the key natural and cultural elements that make up the external geographic context of a destination.

Read this article and discuss opsitive and negative effects of restrictions on tourism.

No homework this week.

Duncan rubs his hands together. "Okay, guys. Here's the deal. You've worked hard, and it's almost the holiday. So today is a break day. If you feel like doing anything athletic, good. If not, there's food. Either way, enjoy."

A table in the gym is filled with soda and snacks, everything from pretzels to chocolate things.
