Achievements In Engineering Class #7, Period 2 Monday

[mike-cannon.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived in the classroom, they would find that Mike had a TV and DVD player set up, along with a table with coffee and bagels for everyone.

"Hope you all enjoyed the break week," said Mike, passing out the usual handout. "Unfortunately, it's Monday morning and back to work for everyone. This week we're covering health technology. For those of you from the future, this is important because without the improved health care that your ancestors had, they wouldn't have lived long enough to have you. And to drive that point home, we're going to watch a movie. Help yourself to some coffee, because I want to see you all awake and paying attention."

"Good morning, class!" As usual, Minsc greeted his students with the usual, boisterous, proud cheer. "I hope you all enjoyed your week off! I know I, for one, found it very restful but now it is time to get back to work!"

The Library; Monday [ 10/20 ]

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Cal realized that he could only convince himself that he wasn't really nervous for so long. All his efforts came crashing down when he managed to spill his coffee all over the desk and, in the scramble to clean it up, hit his head soundly from underneath, and then fell backwards only to smack his head against the wall as well.

And then, when he sat down, the chair fell out from underneath him.

Actually, once he finally did manage to sit down, button up his jacket in hopes to cover most of the coffee stain, and then cleaned up the desk, he told himself that maybe it wasn't nervousness after all at all! Fandom Weirdness! That had to be it! It was just Fandom giving him a bad, bad...really bad morning...

He let out a little groan, knowing he couldn't just hide under the desk, and waited for the oppression of his fate to just weigh him down completely and crush him.

Physics, Monday, Class #7, Period 4

"Good afternoon, everyone," she greeted the class, glancing up as they entered. "I hope you all enjoyed your week off and have recovered from Homecoming sufficiently to be fully mortified when your parents show up this weekend, because yes, we live to torture you."

Sam grinned. Obviously they didn't (as far as she knew), but the timing was a bit coincidental. "In what is continuing to be an incredibly brief overview of physics, today we'll start discussing relativity. As you can see from the handouts, sometimes the umbrella of relativity also encompasses the theory of Galilean, or Newtonian Relativity, depending on who you're talking to, but in most cases, people who discuss relativity really mean either Albert Einstein's theories of special relativity or general relativity."

"So, why do we care? At least in this time period," and here, she may have smirked just a tiny bit, "we believe that relativity is the key to figuring out not just time travel, time dilations, and gravitational time delay, we also believe that it's the key to interstellar travel at faster than light speeds."

Another grin. "Trust me, this is a good thing. Plus, I have my suspicions that it's part of what makes Fandom possible."

"I realize that I've thrown a lot of material at you in a very short time, so I'll give you the rest of the period to process the information, to look through the handouts, to ask questions, and to work on your final projects if you want."

Basics of Alchemy - Monday, Period Five - 10/20

Abby Irene spent the weekend exploring New York and as such, had come back with something of a happy glow about her. It was not New Amsterdam (that much was blatantly apparent) but there was some spirit to the City which had fed the empty part of her left wanting by the small, relatively crime-free island.

That wasn't to say, of course, that there was no work to do.

The Art of War, Week #7 [Period 3, Monday]

[atreideslioness]

As the students entered today, they would see the following text scrawled on the chalkboard in Ghanima's neat handwriting:

In making tactical dispositions, the highest pitch you can attain is to conceal them; conceal your dispositions, and you will be safe from the prying of the subtlest spies, from the machinations of the wisest brains. How victory may be produced for them out of the enemy's own tactics--that is what the multitude cannot comprehend.

All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.

( O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands. )

Hands-On Art, Class #7, Period 1

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

Lily looked all refreshed when the kids got to class today. "Hey, guys. Hope you had a good break week. And just in time for you guys to start stressing about Parents Weekend. That's nice."

Moving on. "Today we're learning about abstract art, which is basically some of the weirder art you'll see," she said. "You really started to see it in the nineteenth century, when people started paying more attention and artists could start getting wackier. This is the basis for cubism, which was a movement started by Picasso. So take that as you will."

She passed out a handout showing several examples. "So if you take a look at this, this is the fun stuff, where you might just get an entire canvas painted blue, or lines drawn on a blank sheet. It doesn't have to have any real subject matter. You're not looking at anything and trying to make it work. It's just completely creative. We're working strictly with paints and canvas today, so start slapping colors on there, see what happens."
