Folklore and Fact: Mystical Artifacts Final Class [Thurs/2nd Period]

[blossomsofice.livejournal.com]

The classroom was set up very simply today -- nothing on the display screens, no lockbox, not even a stack of blank composition books or handouts on the table.

Sakura appeared to be completely unphased by her unplanned absence of the previous week as she stood before the class, and prepared to address them.

"This semester," she said, "we've examined a number of artifacts from different cultures. All of them have been, to some extent or another, items possessed of great power. All of them are valuable because of this, and that value is what drives my comrades and I to undertake the missions that we do -- to protect these artifacts from being abused."

She paused. "It's a worthy cause, and a good mission. But ultimately, that's not why we do what we do. Chief -- Satoru Akashi, our leader, recruited all of us the same way. 'Everyone has a treasure that belongs only to them,' he said. That was what swayed me to join SGS when all of Command's offers had failed. When we undertake our missions . . . when we adventure . . . our ultimate goal is to find that treasure in ourselves. We may not know what, precisely, it is yet, but that is part of the journey as well."

The barest hint of a wry smile twitched at the corners of her mouth for a moment. "I'm sure you were expecting a final exam. What I'm asking you to do instead is to give a little thought to what your own personal treasure may be, and how you plan to set out finding it. It may be through adventure. It may be in using your abilities to protect the innocent and stop the spread of evil. It may be through the challenge of academic study, or it may be something else altogether. Somehow or other, though, you have to push yourselves. There's no value in the lesson without some effort . . . but it can be a lifelong challenge, and that's more demanding than any simple final examination, and ultimately more rewarding if you succeed."

Sakura fell silent for a moment, then said finally, "That will be all for the semester. You have been a surprisingly good class, so thank you for the educational opportunity. And I hope you all have a chance to find that personal treasure at some point in your life."

Film and Lit, 4/26/07 (final class!)

[actingreaper]

Daisy was sitting back in her arm chair next to a table laden with snacks and beverages, trying (and failing) to eat a Der Wafflehouse mini-waffle with dignity.

"Well, kids, this is your last class. I'd like you to each give a quick little presentation on your final projects, just tell us what movie you picked and how you would make it into a film, put your treatments on my desk, and then you can feel free to stick around and have breakfast, or you can all run off to go back to bed. Either way."

[ooc: OCD is going up. Thanks to everyone who helped make this class pretty derned cool!]

Guitar, Period 4, Danger Shop

[guitar-and-gun.livejournal.com]

All the materials from the previous building classes had been laid out. El walked forward slowly, the metal on his pants clinking against his spurs. "Welcome to your last class and the third part of your final. We don't have much time left, but I want you finish, as best you can, building your guitar. Present to me what you've got when time is up."

He clasped his hands together. "Now seems as good a time as any to announce that I will not be here for the summer, and I won't be coming back for the fall. Circumstances have rather... forced my hand a bit. I'm very sorry, but you've all been a wonderful class. Play your guitar with passion wherever you go."

Human Anatomy, Period 3, 4/26

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

The chairs in the room have been spaced far apart to discourage talking, and Elliot hands an exam to each student as they walk in.

"Welcome to your final exam in human anatomy," she begins, when they seem to be assembled. "I hope it will be as fun as a test can possibly be -- which is actually pretty fun. Anyhow, there are three parts. First page is cake, just label the body parts the arrows are pointing to. Second page is 20 multiple-choice questions. Third page is an essay question, and you get two choices there: Either 'Explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems react to physical exertion' or 'Name the five grossest things you learned in this class.' "

"This is my last class at Fandom. A few days after graduation, I am heading back to my old hospital, where I get to be co-chief resident. You all have been a fantastic class, and I hope you learned something. Anyhow, if you want to talk to me, I'll be around after class, or I'll have my final office hours tomorrow. Your grades will be posted before I leave, and if you're going to try bribing me, I like chocolate and pictures of men in uniform."
