Art Appreciation, Studio Session #28

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto once again sat behind the desk. She possibly looked a little gleeful.

There are easels, canvases and paints set up.

Paint something that provokes an emotional response from a classmate.

Library (12/15/05)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet opens up the library after the omg, posted late, noes! Criminal Justice final. She flips on the lights, goes behind the Collections Desk, and starts silently cursing the stupid little gray aliens that sent her back to high school, finals, the whole concept of papers and the grading system in place in the United States today.

She scrawls out a sign on a piece of paper and posts it on the door:

PLEASE TURN IN YOUR OVERDUE LIBRARY BOOKS
BEFORE THE END OF THE TERM

(OR WE'LL SEND ZERO AFTER YOU
WITH HER MALLET)

Biology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

*Once again, there is coffee, but no sugary snacks. Ms. Sidle doesn't feel like dealing with hysterical hyperactivity.*

*She passes each student a file when he/she walks in the door. It is cumulative, but not as brutal as one would think.*

*Well, in her opinion at least.*

[ooc: Tell me the grade you made for the test and semester, please.]

Journalism Class - Thursday December 15

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

There is a defensive line of holly, wound in a manner strongly reminiscent of barbed wire, all around Spider's desk. The desk has been turned around so that the space underneath is visible and Spider himself is folded up in the space, Santa hat squished against the top, knees up by his ears as he types. The cat is sitting atop the desk wearing a set of reindeer antlers and looking disgusted about the entire business.

Spider is wearing a t-shirt that says, 'Elves, they're not just for breakfast anymore' a legend which can be clearly seen when he finally, cautiously emerges. Glaring suspiciously at the class, Santa hat askew, he growled, "Sum up finals week in exactly twenty-five words. Do not wish me any sort of joyous holiday or utter any jovial laughter that consists of one syllable. Attempts to 'de-Scrooge' me will be met with an exam next week. If you are quiet and well-behaved, Friday will be our last day of class and, once I have your final project in my grabby little hands, you'll be free to go."

Professor Chaucer's Office, Wednesday

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Chaucer is holding office hours for a brief time today in order to allow students to turn in their make-up work or discuss end-of-term projects with him.

Thursday Office Hour

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

With nothing else she can do for Chip right now, she puts her earphones in and opens her laptop to write an email to Josh. And she mumblesings as she types...

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift...

Language Classes, 12/15

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Welcome to your next-to-last classes for the semester. I hope some of you will continue with me next term.

We have a quiz, on French for the Languages of Europe students and on cat/human interaction for the Cat students. Complete the quiz, then watch "Marche de l'empereur" or work on your final projects.

Study Hall: 12/15

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac unlocks the doors to study hall and has setup a table full of Bagles, Doughnuts, coffee and tea.

There are also Mullet wigs for all to enjoy.

Shop Class: 12/15

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac sits in the empty classroom and waits for all the students to come in.

"Today, I'm going to give you a little break. Our final exam is next Tuesday so this is really the last class for us to cut loose and have a little fun."

"So your assignment today is to come up with virtual environment that you would enjoy and share with others. I'll be opening up the entire shop this afternoon so other students can join in on the fun."

"Please keep your environment ideas relatively PG-13 clean and non-harmful."

[OOC:The MacDaddy and his hip-hop TA's reserve the right to determine what is an appropriate environment. Please feel free to mod the environment as I'll have limited availability for interaction today.

No OCD Threads today. Just enjoy.]

Criminology : December 15

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

"Hello, everyone. We're going to have class today in the A/V lab, if you'll follow me."

Each computer station is set up with this website in the browser.

"This is the website to the Museo Criminologico in Italy. I'd like you to cruise around the website, and check out a few of the exhibits they have for viewing.

How do you feel about this kind of museum and how this one is organized? It isn't the only one of its type, either. For example, there is El Museo Criminológico in Costa Rica."

As the students sit down to the computers, Grissom has a seat in a chair at the back of the room. If you have any questions about the final project, or have another question, feel free to talk to him.

Criminal Justice Final Exam

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Sorry for the delay. Today has been wacky. Standard procedure, though. Get it done by the weekend if possible, Tuesday at the latest. Class Info Link.]

*The Tick is at his desk. In front of him are the exams. Lockheed is on his normal shelf and is waving what appears to be the answer key. More than likely, he's just being a bit of a jerk.*

"Well, class, it's been an interesting semester. My goal was to make this class a Treasure Map of Knowledge. I've tried to give you a Path to Learning Something, but hopefully I also managed to encourage you to use your own Metal Detectors of Pondering so you could find your own path to your own treasure."

"I hope that you will all walk away from here today rich with Gold Doubloons of Understanding. And I also hope that all of you will join me next semester in Advanced Criminal Justice, where we'll be dealing with more advanced maps, more advanced treasure, and more advanced metaphors."

"I will be here during class time next week if you would like to stop by and talk, or even just study for your other exams in a different place than usual. Your semester grades should be posted in this room some time next week as well."

Tick passed out the tests and sat back down as he said, "Good luck on your exams!"

Arthurian Traditions for Thursday

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

There is a note on the door of the Celtic Studies classroom instructing students to go to the Danger Room Shop. Once there, they will see that it has been recreated into a verdant, rolling landscape. A castle perches on a distant hill (but it's only a model), overlooking an open, grassy area, where Camulus has greated a fairly impressive and quite tasteful throne at one edge, a much lesser chair beside it. He is lounging in godly fashion on said throne when the class arrives.

"It is time," he announces with relish. "Amuse your god. Present your play. You may have a few minutes to organise yourselves. I am told that the Danger Room Shop can accomodate any staging needs you have. Angel, I'll take your essay and you can come sit over here while we mock watch your classmates present."

Abnormal Psychology (Thursday, 1:00 p.m., 12/15/2005)

[romanywitch]

There is a note on the whiteboards:

Sign in and go work on your experiments. By next Tuesday, I need the following answers as the completion of your final project:

1. What were your results?
2. Did the majority of your results (more than 50%) match your hypothesis and predicted result? Please include at least one example. (OOC: A link is OK if you don't want to write it out.)
4. If your results did not match your predicted result, what would you change about your experiment?
5. What did you like or dislike about the experiment you chose?


OOC: I was going to have you guys do a paper, but hopefully this is easier. Please post your results in this thread by next Tuesday. I'll post final grades on Wednesday. There'll be a comment thread for link drops if you have them, and those will increase your final fake score.

OCD comment threads coming shortly are sort of up. Some of them aren't showing up, and I don't know why. If a bunch of threads all titled the same suddenly show, now you know why.

Deep Thoughts Club [Thursday evening]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin did his very best "I'm not drunk, really" walk down the hallway towards the band room.

He only ricocheted off of two different walls.

He was a little too proud of himself for that.

Just before he opened the door he remembered that the bad class were holding their recitals tonight.

He pulled out a rumpled piece of paper out of his pocket and a marker and wrote:

Deep Thotes relocateed moved to 4th floor Common Room.

He stuck it to the door and walked back to the dorms.

History Classes Cancelled

[fandom-sub.livejournal.com]

Dewey just didn't show. Laaaaame.

Starting a Small Business

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

Lorelai is sitting on top of her desk again when the students enter.

"Okay gang, this is our last class and tonight your final projects are due."


[ooc: here's how I'm grading... if everyone in your group comments that you turned in something, you all get Bs. if you actually *did* some type of work, you all get As. I realize there's way too much other stuff going on to expect you to do extra work.]

Last philosophy class! Thursday, 2-4pm

[brambless.livejournal.com]

"This term we've been looking at reality and free will, testing the boundaries of each. We've tried to extend that to 'created' or 'artificial' intelligence, and I'll expect your reports on my desk at the end of class for that, along with last week's homework.

Today, we're pushing those boundaries one step further, with the work of one Peter Singer, most widely known for his philosophical work on animal rights. Now, most human civilisations have functioned on the basic premise that being human means you're better, and more worthy of life, than anything that is not. Here in Fandom, that premise falls apart - we've got a number of residents here who are not human, either extraterrestrial or supernatural in origin, and they're clearly as worthy and as good as our human residents. On a one to one basis, some of one group might fairly be judges as even more worthy than individuals of the other.

So what determines the right to free will? The right to life, and to fight for that life? Sentience is an easy answer... but how do you judge sentience? Moreover, how do you integrate the concept of evolution into that? Humans were not always foreward thinking individuals - scientists are fairly firm in their agreement that we were once apes. Does that mean that apes should be accorded the same rights and respects as human life? At what point in between them and us do those rights magically appear?

With reference to Singer's work and your own logic, I ask you to define what qualities should be possessed by a given being to award them the 'human' rights of freedom - including the right not to be executed for food."

Greco-Roman Archaeology (Final, Part 1)

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

The desks are split apart, and on each of them is a booklet of writing paper, and a printed sheet, which contains the two questions, which are both on Rome.

"You have one hour," Daniel said. "Good luck."

Art Appreciation, Studio Session #29

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto sat behind the desk.

There were sketch pads, pencils, and markers set up.

Music 101 - EXAM - Thursday 12pm

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

"Welcome to your last class for Music 101 dudes. You don't have class next week because classes finish on Wednesday. The day, not the student. Today is your EXAM. I hope you brought a pen. In case you didn't, there's some on the table in the corner. Please sit down at one of the desks. Before we start, I've got a few things to say.

Tonight is the Band recital, in here at 6pm. Be sure to stop by and support your fellow music dudes. There will be free punch and pie.

Lane Kim, Lily Evans and Rose Tyler - I never got your 'Your Life As A Movie' projects. Leave them with me today or you'll fail that project.

Okay dudes, here's the exam. Remember - no talking and no cheating. I think you can all do it without cheating. You've got the whole class time to do it, and you can leave once you hand in your paper to me. You can turn over your exam paper and start work."

[OOC: This thread will be open until Monday. If your character does not show by then, they will fail the subject. If you are reading this after Monday and have an RL reason for not showing (and are willing to give your character a *suitable* IC reason for not taking the exam), please contact me and we can arrange a supplementary exam.]

Band Recital - 6pm

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Posted early because of my wacky time zone.]

The lights are on in full force in the music room. One side of the room is set up as a stage, complete with drum kit, speakers and lighting. The rest of the room is filled with chairs for the audience. There is punch and pie, as promised, at the back of the room. The door is open.

A note is on the door and has been posted all around campus.
