Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 9, Period 1, 02.07.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: This is, obviously, all about the events of last Friday. Tick only knows about Aeryn and Angel being involved due to the radio, and Alanna due to office hours. But she's not in this class. For everyone else, he's just making assumptions based on injuries, scratches, etc. So, really, the Support Team could end up completely under his radar. Ping me if you catch any continuity errors in this whole big thing. There shouldn't be any, but you never know).Class Info Post.]

The Tick was sitting at his desk when his students walked in. He was watching them all very carefully as they entered. Bruises, scrapes, bandages, arms in slings... It wasn't tough to figure out what half of his class had done last Friday. Lockheed sat on his shelf. He had the look of a snarky dragon who had been warned not to snicker at anyone today. To the students, he probably just looked disappointed.

After everyone had taken a seat, Tick stood up and began a lecture.

"First things first, the quizzes looked good. Be happ about that. Second, we do have a new police force in town. They seem well-trained. If you have information on the location of villains who have been kidnapping, assaulting, and generally scaring the bejeezus out of people, then egads, tell them! Tell our security officer! Tell me!"

"I had to get that disclaimer out of the way. Looking around the room, it's pretty clear that a lot of you spent some time on Friday engaging in vigilantism. I'm not going to say that's wrong. After all, I'm a superhero. In the Store of Euphemisms, if you go into the 'Vigilante' aisle, you'll find that 'Superhero' is the best seller and the most expensive product on the shelf. It's a shiny word. People like it. But all it does is describe someone who takes Justice into his own mighty blue hands with some style! It would be hypocritical of me to throw out a blanket statement on the Rightness or the Wrongness of hunting down villains! And yet, here we are."

Creative Writing: Poetry, Lesson Five

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Tuesday, February 7, 8th period

Professor Chaucer does not look well today. In fact, it looks as though he may have just woken up from a nap in his office, or possibly has been drinking heavily. He gives the lecture in a distracted tone, and his attention frequently wanders to the door. Happily, your lovely TA, Kiki, has returned and has once again provided snacks and coffee for the class.

If you have missed a writing assignment, I strongly suggest you talk to me about making up the assignment.

Professor Chaucer's Office Hours, Tuesday

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Professor Chaucer is in his office throughout the afternoon today (any time fifth period or later, until his eighth period class). However, the door is closed. If you could see through the door, you'd see that he's asleep with his head on his arms at his desk. Pity the poor poet. He's having a bad year.

(Seriously. Chaucer is not in a good place right now. He is not a good person to come to for advice. He will not take kindly to antics or practical jokes. If you come to emo at him, he will emo back at you. And he has an excellent vocabulary for emo. He is, after all, a poet. However, if you are very nice and bring him coffee and no bad news, he may wake up long enough to look sad and say thank you.)


[OOC: Mun is unwell today. Periods of radio silence may occur.]

Library, 02/07

[chasingangela]

Angela gets to the library early, and blearily wonders why there still isn't a coffeemaker around.

She props herself behind the counter, and looks through the books that need to be reshelved, hoping to find something she wants to read. Or maybe she's just looking at the pictures. It's early.

The library is now open for all your library-type needs.

Classics/Foreign Lit, 02/07, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

There is a cloud of melancholy surrounding Dream today as he stands before his classes.

Classics: I trust you all read Hesiod's Theogony. What I would like for you to do today is to study the poetry of it, in Greek and in English. Also, discuss what it means that Hesiod takes onto himself the gifts of kingship, the scepter and the "divine voice to celebrate things that shall be and things there were aforetime." Is this an usurpation, or merely a logical right?

Foreign Lit: Please use this class period to read Nikolai Gogol's short story The Overcoat. How do you interpret the ending of this story?

Chemistry (4th Period)

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

"Good morning. Today we will begin discussing the mathematics behind chemistry."

In chemistry, we use symbols to represent the various chemicals. Success in chemistry depends upon developing a strong familiarity with these basic symbols. For example, the symbol "C" represents an atom of carbon, and "H" represents an atom of hydrogen. To represent a molecule of table salt, sodium chloride, we would use the notation "NaCl", where "Na" represents sodium and "Cl" represents chlorine. We call chlorine "chloride" in this case because of its connection to sodium. You should have reviewed naming schemes, or nomenclature, in earlier readings.

A chemical equation is an expression of a chemical process. For example:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) ---> AgCl (s) + NaNO3(aq)

In this equation, AgNO3 is mixed with NaCl. The equation shows that the reactants (AgNO3 and NaCl) react through some process (--->) to form the products (AgCl and NaNO3). Since they undergo a chemical process, they are changed fundamentally.

"Your homework is to work the problems at the end of the fifth chapter in your textbooks. On Thursday, we will learn how to balance equations. Have a good day."

301--3rd period

Trust issues. Good points yesterday, I think today we need to discuss the role trust plays when you are the sender. Do you need to trust the receiver? How about the message? How about...yourself? What happens when a communicator lacks trust in themselves to communicate? Go.

Office hours

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

4th period on, she's in and out of her office. She's hoping to see a couple students in particular (Jack and Phoebe), but without appointments she's just doing a little online shopping and takes off to the lounge...Adam's...Ten's...Geoff's...Gil's...Josh's...Susan's office run errands, leaving a post-it on the door if she's gone.

Political Campaigning (Tuesday, February 7, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh looked up from his paper when the campaign students came into the classroom. "Okay, you've been dealing in the hypothetical long enough. I'm going to throw some numbers at you today. Prepare to take notes."

( Drowning in numbers, huzzah! )

He looked at the class. "Today, your job is to find out where these counties are, get an idea of why these voters like your party so much, and decide where your campaign headquarters and your field offices should be located."

Advanced Journalism (Tuesday, February 7 - 2nd period)

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita sat behind her desk with very red eyes, nursing a cup of coffee.

She might have looked a tad triumphant, though.

"Good morning. Today, we talk about obituaries, which will be due tomorrow at the latest. Write forty words on someone who you know well. A good friend, perhaps, and someone you haven't written on before. And, naturally, it should be written as though they are no longer with us."

She sniffled. "Questions?"

History of Medieval England - Tuesday 6th Period: Review Session: Exam 1

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

All right, class. First exam on Thursday. The exam will consist of three one hundred word sections on what we have discussed so far in this class.

Today is a review section where you may ask what questions you will of your humble professor. In addition, your gracious TA will be holding a second review section immediately following this class for those of you who really, really need more help.

Sociology Courses | February 7, 2006

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Sociology: Sex Cultures | 6th Period

After the students have all arrived, Grissom asks them to follow him into the A/V lab next door.

He then screens the documentary Married in America for the class.

There is obviously a big bowl of cheese puffs to share.

At the end of the film, Grissom dismisses the class, with an evil smirk on his face that can't be coming from anywhere good.



[OOC: Easy day, because Thursday is going to be a omgwtf! fun activity day, and I want to give you all a wee bit of a brain-rest. Please post that you were here, and feel free to chat with classmates and pas notes if you want, but no discussion is needed.]

Western Civ Study Session

[janet_fraiser]

Janet is running the study session Dr. Pierson mentioned at Friday's class. Which means she's sitting there with her notes and a sign-in sheet and waiting for anyone who wants the extra help to show up.


OOC: About to leave work. Responses will be slow as I'll be offline from about 6:30 - 9:00.

Business Classes - 2/7

[absolutesnark]

Business Law – First Period [2/7]

"You may have heard on the radio that Ms. Gilmore-Danes has a doctor's appointment today. I'm sure it's just a routine check-up and that everything is fine." It is clear, though, that Piper is somewhat concerned.

"Anyway, that means you're, once again, stuck with me. Last Thursday we learned about four different types of court systems in the US. Today we're going to learn more about the Federal Courts."

( Lecture )

Discussion Question: Do you think the federal courts have too much influence or not enough?

Homework: 100 words on the general jurisdiction court of your choice (c&p okay, but must actually do it to count)

***

HR Management – Sixth Period [2/7]

"If you listen to the radio at all, then you know Ms. Gilmore-Danes has a doctor's appointment today. I'm sure everything is fine."

Piper paused a moment before continuing.

"Last week we talked about why people do background checks. Today we're going to learn what kind of things can turn up on them and the problems they can cause."

( Lecture )

Discussion Question: Do you think potential employers have a right to know so much about an applicant? Why or why not?

Homework: Prepare five questions that you think should be asked in an interview for Thursday's class. [yep, real work! Must be done – Thursday you'll be paired up to do mock interviews.]

Arthurian Traditions (02/07)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

[[Sorry for teh late and teh short. And I am so tempted to quote Monty Python it's not even funny.]]

"Feasgar math, class. Now that we have a good selection of Arthurian lore to work with, we'll be discussing - and yes, I mean discussing, as in open your mouths and speaking - various aspects of the legend. Today we will be discussing the Holy Grail."

He begins writing on the board as he lectures. "The Holy Grail has taken on a very religious meaning, as either the cup that Jesus Christ drank from at the last supper, or the cup that his mother used to catch his blood when he was crucified. The Holy Grail has also been taken to mean a lineage of kings descended from this Jesus person. This comes from earlier titles, like the Sangreal - Sang Real meaning 'royal blood' or San greal meaning 'Holy Grail'.

"In its earliest incarnations, the Holy Grail was a magical cauldron. A cauldron of plenty, perhaps, that contained bottomless food or porridge. In Welsh tales, a cauldron brought soldiers back to life. In the French and German romances, it became a cup, a fountain, or a bowl that had a line of text around the rim that would change, displaying the names or lineages of knights or kings."

He turns back to the class and begins handing out sheets that may in some way resemble this Wiki article.

"Here's a bit of extra information on the literary incarnations of the Grail legend. I'm sure all of you have heard of a Grail quest. Any examples that you would care to contribute? You can do it verbally in class, or hand in a written copy to me on Thursday if you require some research."

The Doctor's Office Hours: Tuesday

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

The Doctor is trying fervently to scrub 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' out of his head while he works. Every method he's tried to date hasn't worked.

General Physical Conditioning

[mrdmacleod.livejournal.com]

The mats are out for general tumbling. Duncan's available to help and spot. A lot of this bears a remarkable resemblance to prep for martial arts. Funny, that.
