Creature Languages, 3/30, Period 3

[swerval_zero]

Zero looked a little dismayed by the packet of information Professor Dream had left her. "Right then, as you know, Professor Dream is away, so today and Monday, I'll be running the class. And we are going to be studying...sharks. Joy. We have this DVD to watch, and these...does this say...we have these Landshark vocabulary sheets to study."

She hit 'play' on the DVD player and could be heard to mutter, "I hate sharks."

Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 22, Period 1, 03.30.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Still more relatively light stuff. Still more likely non-respondiness at work. Class Info Post.]

"Hello, class! Today we'll be talking about one of the most important figures in the Justice System: The Judge."

"The judge is the Mayor of Justice City. He tells the police they can arrest an evildoer, referees the trials that determine if a person is innocent or guilty, looks off to the side when a superhero causes minor property damage while fighting The Good Fight, and looks keen in a snazzy black robe. The judge is, simply put, the guy to be!"

( Class 22 )

School Announcements, March 30

[overlord-zordon.livejournal.com]

Today's announcements come half an hour before first period, and sound . . . oddly muffled, somehow.

"Good morning. All students will be pleased to note that the grades given out by the red crayon yesterday will not be officially acknowledged by the school, and thus will not reflect negatively on their transcripts. As for the crayon itself, a wax wrangler from Crayola was here very early this morning to take it into custody."

One might be able to infer that Zordon is sorry that he didn't get a chance to watch Zoe actually reduce the crayon to permanent dust. Because really. Who wouldn't be?

"Unfortunately, all lockers on campus appear to have been equipped with cream pies today. Approximately half of them have been spring-loaded, so again, please guard your faces carefully. Thank you."


[OOC: Pies courtesy of bugofjustice. And thanks to everyone who had fun with the crayon yesterday; you guys rock.]

Speech Comm

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She's positively glowing. Every now and again, when not engaged in discussion, her finertips rise to her lips and she grins like an utter fool.

This is one of those days to hit her up for things since she's filled with glee.

201--2nd period

Speeches on what you've gleaned from your time here. Need help? Sure you do.

301--3rd period

Poker is a game of reading people more than it is counting cards or laying odds. Today we're playing cards. Since there's only two of you I'll be pulling people in from the halls. The rules are on handouts for each of you.

[[Like last term, describe body language and silence and/or bravado so your fellow players can 'read' you.]]


I need three more students willing to be victims play poker. First three to post get the chairs.

Office Hour

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She's in her office, mostly spinning in her chair. She is reviewing notes and logging in grades too.

Political Campaigning (Thursday, March 30, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Today we talk about free media," Josh said, tossing down the Washington Post. "Or, more accurately, earned media, because you have to work to get these folks to cover you."

He ran a hand through his hair. "And to cover the aspects of the campaign you want them to talk about. They're more than happy to write horse-race pieces: who's polls have them ahead, the easy stuff. Try to get them to write about your Social Security reform plan is like pulling teeth. You're trying to get them to stick to your message--the one that you've built your entire campaign plan around, remember--and they have other ideas."

He sat down and waved his hands in the air. "Okay. Today think of a story you'd like the press to cover about your candidate and talk out the approach you'd take to pitch the idea with your group members."

Sociology Courses | March 30, 2006

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Sex Cultures

Grissom gives a lecture on every ninja-loving pirate's favorite topic, Prostitution.

Discussion Question: Should prostitution always be illegal, should it be legal but heavily regulated, or do you believe it should be allowed to operate as any other business would?

[OOC: Soc. students, please handwave yesterday's classes as happening with a boring lecture and no homework. I apologize for the missing post.]

Arthurian Traditions (03/30)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Grumpy, scowling Camulus is back. Especially after discovering the shambles that Orlin had made of his notes and gradebook. Apparently he had tried to remark everyone on the basis of the smiles he received. Camulus was going to kill him.

"None of you are to mention my behaviour of the past two days," he growled as a preamble to class. "None of you." He glares around the class, as if to make his point.

"Right. Today we'll be looking at the longest of the Welsh Arthurian romances, the story of Peredur. This story parallels the continental French romance of Percival. There is some dispue which story is the original, the Welsh or the French, although it seems that the Welsh may be earlier. There are two major differences between these stories . . ."

Camulus goes on for a while about the superiority of the Welsh myths to Chretien DeTroye's versions, then dives into the story of Peredur, his rearing, his beef with Kei, and then his several dozen adventures. It got to the point where he simply wrote 'PSO', indicating 'Peredur set out'. There were lame kings, ugly kings, hags, hags, more hags, and lots of battles.

Camulus may have been looking slightly vindictive when he was describing all of these conflicts.

Newspaper Staff Meeting, 4pm FHT, Journalism Room

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe sits perched on top of one of the desks in the Journalism room, tapping away at her laptop as she waits for everyone else to show up. If she appears to be a little distracted, it might be because of the unopened envelope from Metropolis University that's sitting next to her.

Business Classes

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

Business Law - Period One

"It's getting close to the end of the semester, so I'm going to have you guys start working on your final project today. Since there's only a few of you, I'd like you to work as a group.

Today you can go to the library and I want you to research a recent court case that's had media coverage that somehow relates to anything we've learned in class so far. As a group, agree on which case to use and then next week I'll let you know what you're going to do with the information as soon as I figure it out."

---

HR Management - Period Six

"It's getting close to the end of the semester, so I'm going to have you guys start working on your final project today. Since there's only a few of you, I'd like you to work as a group.

Today, we're going to watch a training video. It's about twenty minutes long. After, I want you to discuss, as a group, how you could make it better. More interesting, more enjoyable, less dull. By the end of the semester, I'd like you guys to produce your own video."


[trying to encourage interaction here. if you don't know the kind of training video i'm talking about, i'll try to dig one up online but i didn't want to subject any of us to that :)]

[romanywitch]

"Today, guys, we're going to talk about perception. Here's a handout on the subject. Read up on it a bit, and let's talk about perception as it relates to cognitive psychology, especially decision-making, which I have another handout on."

Jung (Thursday, 03/30/2006, 7th Period)

[romanywitch]

"Okay, guys, we've talked a lot about Jung's theories of personality. Here behind the cut is a handout with some excerpts of an essay written by Dr. C. George Boeree. He had some interesting things to say about Jung's theories. Why don't you read through it, and we'll talk about Dr. Boeree's interpretations of Jung's theories."

( Essay )

OOC: Essay excerpts from here.

Music 201 - March 30, 2006 - Period 7 - Class #21

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

On the round table, there was an assortment of food from a little place called Hobbiton in Middle Earth. On the board there was an altered map of Middle Earth.

The re-labelled map reads:

Hobbiton/The Shire: Little furry dudes
Moria: Heigh-ho dudes
Rivendell: Pointy ears dudes
Mordor: Bug-eyed dude
Isengard: Slimy dudes and Christopher Lee and wizards
Helm's Deep: Bad place to hang out
Gondor: Butch dudes


"Afternoon dudes!" Ted greeted. "I heard about the kazoo stuff from last week. Most excellent. Today we're learning about this place called Middle Earth. Well, their music. They don't have cars or planes or time-travelling phone booths or anything to get around, so they have to walk or ride horses or sail everywhere. It takes a long time. And most of the time they're either too busy fighting or eating or walking to make new music all the time, so they keep to the same few songs and then just modulate them or use the same theme and make an 11 hour soundtrack really long tunes out of the few ideas they do come up with. Then they just keep harping on the same idea over and over again, and it turns out really long, so they can hum to it on their really long trips. Seriously dudes, it takes like a week to walk to the mall for them."

Discussion: "No discussion on this today unless you want to dudes. But something different. If you could meet any musician-type dude or dudette or go anywhere to any musical performance in all of the multiverse, where would you wanna go? Who would you like to see? Enjoy the food, dudes!"
