Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 27, Period 1, 04.18.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Blah blah blah slow during day. This is my "Raid Wiki For Info" Week. Therefore, it's slighty dry and less wacky than usual. If this lecture hits any sore points for your character, it wasn't intentional. I was going to do this last week before I got sick, I swear! Class Info Post.]

"Hello, students!" The Tick said from behind his desk. "I hope you all enjoyed Master Kenobi's lecture last week. And if you had the chance to catch his sparring session with Anakin... well, it was keen!"

"Looking toward the end of the semester here, I want to let you know about your final exam. It will take place on May 2nd, two weeks from today and consist of five essay questions. It will use concepts that we talked about. And as a hint about one of the questions, I'll point you towards last week's newspaper. The thrust of the main article was whether or not Justice worked in Fandom. Those of you with good memories may recall that we've talked about that before. I would do some reflecting on your feelings on the subject by May 2nd."

"Oh, and if Callisto, Janet, Marty, and Logan could see me after class, that would be keen!"

School Announcements, April 18

[overlord-zordon.livejournal.com]

Ten minutes before first period? People are going to start wishing Zordon wasn't so prompt with the announcements, at this rate. It's all just an evil plan to disrupt Peter Parker's sleep. Mwahahahaha.

"Good morning. Today is Paul Revere Day, or so the interestingly-dressed skeleton in my office has been attempting to inform me. William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, however, continue to not get their fair share of credit for the midnight ride. In addition, the phrase used to alert people on the route was not 'The British are coming,' but 'The regulars are out.'"

There's a brief pause, and in fact the phrase "The regulars are out" can be heard from a chorus of several odd-sounding voices in the background. With . . . springy noises?

Zordon continues dryly, "As the platypuses on pogo sticks who are wandering the halls today apparently wish to inform you. That will be all, and have a midnight-ride-free day."

Then, just before the PA shuts off . . . "Thank you. Now will some of you go down to the office, take those pogo sticks, and hit the drone who keeps yelling 'The British are coming?'"

Classics/Foreign Lit, 4/18, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream nods in greeting to the students as they file in. An array of fresh fruit -- including plums, kumquats and starfruit as well as apples and bananas -- is offered in baskets at the front of the classroom.

Foreign Lit: Dream lectures on African literature for precisely half of the class.

Classics: Dream lectures on Roman mythology for the other half of the class.

At the end, Dream addresses all students as a group. "This is the final unit of new material for all of you. Next week, you will begin work on your end-of-term projects, which will be due on May 3. Each of you will be expected to handwave write a paper on one of the topics we have discussed in class; classics students may write in Latin, Greek or English, though you will be expected to refer to relevant texts in the original tongues if you write in English. I will expect proposals from each of you a week from today, on April 25."

Political Campaigning (Tuesday, April 18, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh blinked as platypuses platypodi platypodes more than one platypus, omg, went pogo-ing past the door yelling about the regulars.

"You know, I'm not even going to ask any more," he said with a sigh.

He turned around and looked at the class. "I've changed my mind. I'm not the only one who just saw those, right?"

He closed the door. "Okay, today we talk about coalitions--those groups of voters and their lobbying groups that will be calling you at all hours of the day whining about how they are so much more important to your cause than all the other people who are calling and whining."

He ran a hand through his hair. "And if you ever have the misfortune of meeting Amy Gardner over at the Women's Leadership Coalition? Run far, far away. Because she's scary."

Josh went on about the various special interest groups that get involved in campaigns--religious groups, veterans, seniors, ethnic minorities, women--still looking over his shoulder for passing platypuses.

"The trick is making them all think that you are very, very concerned with whatever it is they care about without, you know, actually caring that much about it."

He sat down. "Okay. Let me tell you about your final *handwavy* projects. All semester, you've been learning entirely too much about Tester, Morrison and Burns. Next Thursday, get your groups together and give me a *handwavy* presentation about how you would get your man elected. Message, theme, fundraising, media buys, the whole deal. Except for not really Break into groups, start talking. Or flailing. Or both. Doesn't really matter to me."

History of Medieval England - Tuesday 6th Period: Review

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos is sitting at his desk in front of the class, piles of books
surrounding him. "All right. Now is your chance to ask me any question
about any portion of what we have covered in this class that you like.
So, since I know all of you are quite talkative, have at it."

[[OOC: Methos-mun is stuck in hell a temp job, and will not be
around to answer questions until at least 6:30 PDT, and possibly not
then, depending on how much alcohol will be needed to numb the pain.
FYI, feel free to answer each other.]]

Sociology Courses | April 18, 2006

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Sociology Special Topics: Sex Cultures (6th Period)

The lab is organized in the same fashion as it was yesterday, so that each student has a private work station at which to take his or her final. The Sex Cultures final contains only two sections - multiple choice on vocabulary, history, and concepts (no fill-ins for you dirty kids), and a short essay (which is on porn!). It's of moderate difficulty, and there are no trick questions.

The exam is timed to be completed in one class period. Grissom also explains that extra time will be allowed with permission, but that students may not exit and re-enter the classroom once the test begins (allowances of course would be made for things like seizures and body swaps.)

Any student not able to complete the exam today will be assigned a 10 page, researched and properly cited paper in lieu of a test, to be completed by the end of term. It should be submitted to a TA (Bel, Veronica, Cally, Lyta, or Paige) in a handwavey kind of manner so a grade can be received for their coursework and that so no one is punished for RL hiatus or brainfart.

While the students take the exam, Grissom is at his desk, wrapping what suspiciously looks like a very girly present in a manner than can only be described as disturbingly methodical. The paper is also pink and sparkly, so chances are it's a gift for Lorelai.

[OOC: Give me two grades - exam grade, and final grade! I'm catching up on tags today omg emo is draining and pulling his access for the main comm by later tonight, so drop me e-mails or AIMs with any outstanding problems after then! :) ]

Arthurian Traditions (04/18)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, class," Camulus grumbled. If one were looking closely at his kilt, one would notice that the hem looks decidedly ragged and chewed upon. This could be one of the reasons he's scowling. Then again, he's usually scowling.

"Uill, the last two classes were spent watching the film 'Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail'. And since you lot didn't have any thoughts about it, you're going to have to listen to me talk about it for a whole class."

Camulus went on to outline in depth how the structure of the movie mirrored the structure of the Mabinogian and other Arthurian tales with its random diversions and side stories. He talked about how the Knights Who Say Ni were similar to the numerous quests of Peredur and the eternal questing for the Holy Grail. The Black Knight and the Green Knight and the Beheading Game. Then how the endings were similar in that the stories didn't really end, just sort of . . . trailed off.

Yes, he spent the entire lesson talking very seriously about Monty Python.

[[Sorry for lack of class yesterday. It was my birthday and I had an exam and was busy busy.]]
