Ethics [Thursday, December 14th, 6th period]

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

As everyone came into class, they could see that Krycek had laid out a handout on every desk. He waited at the front of the class until everyone had taken a seat before starting, looking rather cheerful.

"Relationship ethics," he began, then spread his hands, smirking. "Yes, I'm serious. That's what my syllabus says and we're running with it. I'm sure you'll all have fun."

Krycek held up one of the handouts, paraphrasing the first part. "'A basic and trustworthy relationship that one has to another human being, that cannot necessarily be characterized in terms of any abstraction other than trust and common protection of each other's body.' And, as it says, honestly is generally considered a major focus in an ethical relationship.

"I think we all know that it's not always possible to be completely honest, 100% of the time, right? People will be people, no one's perfect, and all that. Sometimes there have to be lies, mutually acknowledged or held by one party, in order to maintain the relationship at all." Krycek remained somewhat amused as he continued. "So when, if ever, is it okay to lie to your partner? When is it okay to invade your partner's privacy? What counts as invading your partner's privacy in the first place?"


After the main discussion, Krycek pulled out a carton of eggs from behind the desk. "Now this is your final project, which will wrap up next week."

He held up one raw egg, grinning slightly. "Congratulations, kids, you're now egg-parents. You'll be caring for an egg for the next week, reports to be made in our last class of the term. I've assigned some pairs and a couple of people as single parents, so go ahead and find your partner - or come get your egg-baby if you're alone - and use the last part of the class to name your baby, decide if it's a boy or a girl, and figure out who gets custody first."

5. Jack Harkness/Tyler Durden


6. Sam Carter/Jamie Madrox


7. River Tam/Alanna Trebond


8. Belthazor/Isabel Evans


9. Maia Rutledge


10. Elizabeth Weir

Once everyone had split off, Krycek raised his voice for attention one last time. "So you know, I'll be listening to radio. You can't leave your egg-baby unattended - treat it just like a real baby. And don't think you can get away with breaking your egg, because I'll know. Believe me, I have my ways. So happy parenting and I'll see you all next week!"

[OOC: Wait for OCD is done! I'm going to bed now, omg, but I will be on about 9am PST and around for as much of the day as I can manage. Have fun!]

Myth Into History, Week 13: "Yes, Virginia . . ." Part 2 [Thurs/1st Period, Danger Shop]

[drjcovington.livejournal.com]

Students entering the Danger Shop this morning might have been momentarily confused by its unusually festive appearance. To tell the truth, the room itself was a bit dingy and drab except for a few garlands and wreaths on the walls and the large, decorated tree in one corner: instead of an angel or a star atop the tree, though, there was a beribboned metal ring with sharp edges.

Sitting cross-legged at the foot of the tree amidst a small forest of old-fashioned handmade toys was Janice, completely unaware of the tinsel crowning her hat. "That'll be a thousand dinars from all of you, or everybody in this orphanage gets evicted at midnight. Who cares if it's a holiday? The town we're in now, it's against the law to celebrate the winter solstice. Anyone caught celebrating it gets a harsh prison sentence. Petty tyrants'll outlaw anything," she added with a roll of her eyes. "One of the other Scrolls I'm working on now was all about some town called Pelios that outlawed dancing -- some craziness about a huge fire in the town after a dance festival being a judgment from the town's patron muse, Calliope, or something like that. This town, like I said, outlawed celebrating the winter solstice because the king's wife walked out on him on the solstice, and the town's toymaker, Senticles, ended up out of a job and working for the miserly bastard. So Gabrielle" -- massive eyeroll -- "talked Xena into trying to force the king into a change of heart by dressing up as the Fates and trying to show him his past, present, and future. There's a bit at the end, too, about a really bright star shining during the daytime and Gabrielle giving a donkey to a couple with a newborn baby, but I have no idea what the hell that's all about."

"Anyway. It'll be a light class for you today, so you have time to get ready for your final. It'll be pretty hands-on, so make sure to wear comfortable clothes. Look, the less essays I have to grade, the more time I have to work on the Scrolls, so don't expect a whole lot of writing. I do expect you to go over everything we've covered this semester, though. It'll come up." She smirked. "Somehow or other. This week is a review period. Oh hell, play with the toys if you want; just don't blame me if that's the reason you fail your exam next week."

[OOC: Class Info Post/Syllabus. As always, open for play through the weekend if needed; light interaction from me today due to a huge pile of stuff that needs to go into the accounting system -- happy happy joy joy. OCD is up!]

Dance, Period 5 Thursday

[guitar-and-gun.livejournal.com]

"Next week is our final week of class," El said as he faced them. "Rather than go over new steps, I'm going to give you this time to get into your groups and work on your final projects during class period. I'll be here if you need advice or have questions."


_{[[I'm flying back hoooome tomorrow, so don't count on a lot of interaction from me until later in the day!]]}

Philosophy of Values: Period 3 - Review for Final

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

Wilson definitely looked a lot perkier than he had this time…oh, yesterday. He might have also looked a bit tired but it was a good sort of tired and err…never mind the suspicious bruises on his neck. He..um…fell on the vacuum a few times.

There were pasties and hot tea, coffee and cocoa for the students as they filed in and got settled and as soon as everyone was in their chair, Wilson smiled at the class and began.

“Good morning! Today, your project essays are due; please turn them in at the end of the class. Well, this our last class as next week will be your final and I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for a wonderful semester. You each brought unique and creative perspectives to the topics we discussed and I feel as if I learned as much from talking with you as hopefully you learned in the course of the semester.”

Smiling warmly at his students, he leaned back against the front of the desk and crossed his arms over his chest.

“All right, the final is going to cover the material from the mid-term forward. To help you leverage the most from your study time, we’re going to have a review today.”

Straightening up, he flipped on the overhead projector and got started.

Science! Fair! (Thursday, Period 7)

[getfrizzled.livejournal.com]

The lab classroom was set up to display the students' projects and Ms Frizzle was bouncing from booth to booth, looking at everything. She didn't appear to be doing any grading, but be sure it still counted towards final marks. Written on the board was "Final exam next week! Good luck on all your others!"

There was no study guide. Then again, there had never really been a lesson.

[[Please wait for the OCD. Go! Play! Enjoy!

Everyone is welcome to come check out the projects, please wait until a member of the group has tagged in.

Ms Frizzle will be coming around and talking to everyone, but as of midnight or one tonight I am AFK until at least Saturday, possibly longer.]]

Applied Science - Thursday - Period 2

[fandom-sub.livejournal.com]

"Hi everyone! I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such classes as English: the I before E rule and History: was George Washington really that fishy looking?"

Troy waited for the recognition to die down. He was a movie star, after all.

"Today, we'll be the sin back in science. Have you ever wondered what you can do with an index card?"

Again, Troy waited for the students to answer his question.

"No? Well, I'm not surprised. Whoever tells you that an index card car is cool is obviously an idiot!" He smiled hugely. "But, today, we'll be joining those idiots by making an index card car."

Troy passed out the intstructions.

"Feel free to work in pairs or work alone. Index card cars! The wave of the future!"

Troy gave a thumbs up.

Newspaper Staff Meeting, 4pm FHT, Journalism Room

Rory was curled up in the back.

Pastries were out, as was coffee.

Et cetera.

[I won't be home until 11 EST at the earliest! Sorry! Finals suck, and apparently having dinner with the boyfriend's parents *stares at phone in horror* is worse.]

Constant Vigilance 2, Session 14. Friday the 15th, A Classroom. Period 4

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

After everyone filed in and signed in, the Doctor turned on the holoprojector, which projected a large chess board in a peculiar set up.

"Take a few minutes to look at this. It's a puzzle. Black can win in one move. Think hard. Now if anyone thinks they know the move, let me know now."

After talking about the puzzle, the Doctor cleared his throat.

"The reason I point this out is that this puzzle allowed me to trap an ancient evil, an evil from before the dawn of time. It called itself Fenric, known also in Norse mythology as Fenrisulfr, the monstrous wolf that will devour Odin during Ragnarök. Fenric was powerful, able to destroy me without batting an eye."

The Doctor then went on about Fenric at a bit of length.

He grinned.

"So I beat him by being clever, outsmarting him. And using the same principles in the chess puzzle against him, as well as the actual puzzle itself. He was unable to grasp the twist, the complete unpredictability. And here is the lesson you should walk away not only from this class, but the course in general."

"Think differently. Conforming to the mold is all well and good, but being creative, now, that's what makes you an individual. Being quick to think will make you able to overcome all obstacles, and give you a real edge in the world that lies out there. Next week, a boring old written exam. Please keep these concepts I've told you today in mind when you take said boring exam. Now, I open today up to questions, or you just chattering about at your desks. Got it? Fantastic."
