Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 23, Period 1, 04.04.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Work should be better, but I slack. Same rules as the last time we watched C&P. Make stuff up in the episode, chat out of turn, and other such stuff. Class Info Post.]

"Welcome class!" Tick said from his spot at the podium. "Please turn your project theories in. Don't forget, we're in the Danger Shop on Thursday for your presentations. Remember to have fun with them!"

"Also, I received some good news yesterday. I've been in contact with someone in hopes that he would come in to give a guest lecture. Well, I heard back and he agreed! So next Thursday, please be prepared for a lecture by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin's old teacher! It should be keen!"

"Today we'll be taking it easy and watching another episode of Crime & Punishment. In this episode, Detectives Larry Boscoe and Mark Loggin investigate a murder at the circus. And I'm warning you, there are no mimes this time."

"This week's metaphor is bumper stickers, and extra credit is to wear a hat for your presentation. Whimsy is encouraged but not necessary."

Tick took a seat in the back of the class and requested that Rory play the DVD. Lockheed was already back there with popcorn.

"Oh, and Sam? I have a question for you after class if you have a moment."

[OOC: ETA the question to Sam. I just want to establish that Sam will actually be running the Danger Shop on Thursday. OOCly, it's all handwaved, but I like details.]

Library, Tuesday, April 4

[chasingangela]

Angela is behind the desk of the library at the usual time.

Her eyes might still be a little red. Darn hay fever.

Come in, browse, look for books. It's what the library's there for, and distraction is probably a good thing for Angela.

Language Classes, 4/4

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream stands behind his desk, as if he had never left, though he may be even more quiet and remote than is his norm.

He passes out a quiz to the foreign lit students -- 10 multiple-choice questions and a brief essay on Asian literature.

For the classics students, he passes out Book XI of Ovid's Metamorphoses. If the choice of fable seems like an attempt at self-punishment, it may in fact be one.

"You have your work. Let me know should you have questions," is all he says, before returning to his seat.

Political Campaigning (Tuesday, April 4, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh had his feet up on his desk when the campaigning class began arriving.

"Today we talk about paid media, which for the most part these days means television ads. It's the fastest way to reach the most people and in states like California where there are insane numbers of voters and no shot in hell of hitting them all door to door, the only way you'll get your message out."

He began ticking points off on his hand as he paced around the classroom. "And television, especially prime time television time, is expensive. Sure, the federal government has worked it so that the stations are required to give you the least expensive advertising prices, but that will buy you ads at 11:30 on a Tuesday night, which is pretty much useless. And once all of the time blocked for political ads is bought, then you have to pay commercial rates."

He looked at the students. "Other than staff salaries, most of the funding your campaign raises will be going into TV time. The more you raise, the more ads you can buy. You can target your audiences, too--radio ads, ads on cable, ads in Spanish--tailor your message based on the voters your targeting data has told you to, well, target."

He sat back down. "Okay. Last week you saw some of the most effective campaign ads that have ever been produced in this country. Good, bad, doesn't matter. What matters is that they got the voters' attention. Today, try to come up with an ad concept that would get voters' attention if you were running for office. Pair up, chat, brainstorm. Have fun with it. After all, someone's already done the Daisy Ad--you'd be hard-pressed to come up with something more shocking."

School Announcements, April 4

[overlord-zordon.livejournal.com]

The announcements today are in the middle of third period again. Someone should probably "accidentally" delete Zordon's ROM of Donkey Kong, because seriously. (Then again, last night's radio disturbed him, and what do you do when you can't drink and are hardwired into a computer?)

"Good morning." There seem to be a variety of skittering noises in the background. "All students would be advised that there is a minor incursion of lemurs on campus. They are omnivorous, so please watch your shoes, food, and personal effects, and please do not attempt to exterminate them as they are an endangered species. Thank you."

Well. Normal lemurs aren't that omnivorous, but this is Fandom, after all, and normal lemurs aren't found anywhere outside of Madagascar. Zordon just hopes these particular lemurs can't chew through metal.

[OOC: Today's phenomenon courtesy of marsheadtilt. Please don't sustain any grievous lemur injuries.]

Speech Comm

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

201--2nd period

Ok, so...top 3 ideas. What have you learned outside of your studies? Hit me.

Oh, and watch out for the lemur.

*** *** *** *** ***

301--3rd period

She's on top of her desk, surrounded by lemurs moving too fast to count. There might be three, there might be eight.

Regardless, she's lost her shoes and isn't too much interested in teaching right at the moment.

Office Hour

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She's in her office and the door is shut.

Turkeys were one thing. Manolo eating lemurs are something else entirely.

Tactics of War, Monday, 6 - 8 PM

[harringtongreen.livejournal.com]

Honor stood at the front of the classroom, once again leant against the larger desk at the front of the room. Her arms were crossed across her chest, and Nimitz was perched in his usual position over her shoulder. Both watched the students file in with a twinkle in their eyes as they watched the students file in. After a few moments, Honor glanced up at the clock and cleared her throat.

( Let's be about it. )

( For your homework... )

[OCD threads coming up. OCD threads up.

Apologies for not getting the readings up as planned. Rebuilding my PC is taking a bit longer than I anticipated. What is it about first plans of attack and contact with the enemy? Anyway, for those of you actually skimming the readings, most of the ones for this week are on the web.

Apologies also for the late posting. Between a migraine and power outages, I just wasn’t destined to get this thing posted last night...]

Arthurian Traditions (04/04)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, class. We're almost to the end of the Mabinogian. Which is a good thing, seeing as . . ." he said dryly, holding up his copy of the Mabinogian, with a large hole very clearly chewed right through it. "You will be having a quiz on Thursday on those stories we have covered from the Welsh tales, including Culhwch and Olwen from the beginning of the term. The tale of today is the story of Gereint and Enid, about a knight who fell too deeply in love with a woman and they both suffered for it."

He goes over the story, focusing on a few points and once again writing things up on the board, horribly misspelling the Welsh words unless he checked them against the book. Well, as much of the book as he still had.

"Alright. What did you think of the character of Enid in this story? How does she fit in with the mold of Arthurian women? What is the cause of the dissatisfaction of Gereint's men?"

Advanced Journalism (Tuesday, April 4 - 2nd period)

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Good morning," Rita said, looking very, very hungover. "Today I'd like you to start assembling a list of questions to ask your interviewees for your final. You may also spend the time thinking about who you're interviewing, if you haven't decided."

Business Classes

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

[gah, I suck and totally forgot today was Tuesday. no ocd threads -- but please try to comment/interact, k?]

Introduction to Archaeology, 5th Period

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"First today, I'd like for you to take a quiz on the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses and tell me your score."

"Today, we're going to be talking about Egyptian animals. Animals of all kinds were important to the Ancient Egyptians, and featured in the daily secular and religious lives of farmers, craftsmen, priests and rulers.

Animals were reared mainly for food, whilst others were kept as pets. The bodies of sacred animals and some pets were often mummified and given elaborate burials.

Animals were thought to be sacred to the Egyptians because they believed that when one of their gods or goddesses came down to earth, they would represent themselves as a specific species. The Egyptians thought by honoring them, they would be pleasing the god. They also thought that animals shared an afterlife with their humans so it resulted in animals being buried within its family tomb. The animals that were considered especially sacred included the cat, cattle, scarab beetle and the jackal. Who knows why these animals were sacred, and what other animals were found in Ancient Egypt?"

Sociology Courses | April 4, 2006

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Sex Cultures

Grissom lectures at length on definitions of obscenity, concluding on a section regarding the Miller Test, which is the list of three criteria the United States Supreme Court uses to determine whether speech or expression can be labeled as obscene.

"Okay, guys. We only have five minutes left of class. I'm going to pair you off again.

#1: Phoebe and Paige
#2: Bel and Allie
#3: Cally and Anders
#4: Alanna and Pip
#5: Sawyer and Izzie

For next class, I want you to find a piece of erotic art, and use the Miller Test to prove why it is or is not obscene. You'll be presenting your work. And if you can't find your partner between now and then, or don't have time, handwave it next class."

History of Western Civilisation - Tuesday 7th Period: Lecture 12: Crusades and the High Middle Ages

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos enters class and lectures on the High Middle Ages, Crusades, and the development of trade and the concomitant development of centers of trade. He concludes with a section similar to what he told the Medieval England class the previous week on the Black Death.

{wait} (Go)

History of Medieval England - Tuesday 6th Period: Lecture 11: The War of the Roses (Part 1)

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

I freely admit this is because it's just bloody fun. The average person couldn't give a damn who was sitting on the throne and indeed, commerce and artistic endeavors continued without regard to who was king. But let's get into the soap opera aspects of this, shall we?
