Math; Wednesday, First Period [09/08].

[died8yearsago]

Well, Rosa wasn't covered in scales today, which, if you asked her, was kind of a downgrade, she thought they'd look pretty badass, but she still had to teach math class, which was significantly less badass, and while she glowered over all the ways in which Summer was probably completely ruining her badass empire at this school, she still wasn't sure exactly what to actually do about it.

Which meant she was still teaching math. And wondering what to do about October swiftly approaching. There was at least one idea approaching there, but it was still in its baby stages. She might need another week to sort of figure that out more completely, and so there they were. In math class.

With a stack of papers that she'd actually gone over once they were handed in ast week and graded, which she hadn't expected she'd even bother with, but what started out as genuine curiosity to see just what a clusterfuck mathematics at this school would be turned into an oddly sincere effort to comb through the assessment tests to grade them.

Of course, since she hadn't bothered with introductions (and wouldn't have remembered, anyway), she was stuck with not knowing which test went to which student, with a few notable exceptions.

(If you were an exception and Rosa actually did know your name...that was up to you to decide whether or not that was actually a good thing).

It was fine, there was a simple solution to this. "Okay," she started, "so I went over your tests from last week, and it's not as bad as I thought. You all seem to have a general competency with math, so that's....good. When I call your name, come up and get your test, and then we're going to move on to multiplication and division."

Weren't you all just so thrilled?

The Modern World & You, Wednesday Second Period

"Today we will be learning about...I hope I am saying this right. 'The Tiktocks?'" No, Yennefer.

"Tiktok," Jaskier corrected brightly. Because thank the gods, he was back to normal this week! "It is a sort of... short video that provides little snippets of entertainment. Usually with dancing or music."

Right up his alley.

"So it's for bards with short attention spans," Yennefer observed, and told the students, "Such as Jaskier here."

He made a deeply affronted noise at that. "Well, It's modern entertainment. Which is beyond some people."

Yennefer ignored that. "Today you will be making your own Tiktoks. For this, you will need a telephone. If you do not have a telephone or understand how yours functions, please pretend."

"We've provided you with a truly classic song for it as well," Jaskier assured the class.

"So remember, make it brief, make it entertaining, and make it go with the song." Yennefer turned to Jaskier. "Is there anything else to it?"

"That should be all there is to it," Jaskier said brightly. "You'll have fun, we promise."

Well. He promised.

Introduction to Engineering - Wednesday, 3rd Period

[notagoose]

“Welcome back,” Goose said as he started the lecture for the second week and was wearing shoes, he grimaced a bit “I apologise for last week, I can assure you that it wasn’t normal,” they would have been able to tell that by the sudden lack of pauses in his sentences

“Today we’ll begin an overview of engineering and looking at how it’s advanced over time, for the purpose of this class we will be focusing on the history up to present time,” he paused and glanced at Alara, “and this is of course the engineering history of Earth,”

“There are many disciplines of engineering and we will be looking at some of these modules throughout this course but today’s lesson is designed to provide the historical context and noted achievements that have helped shape engineering today,”

He began to go through some of the earliest accomplishments in engineering, making note of early achievements such as those of the invention of the wheel through to the ancient era and how these designs were the foundations for how engineering would later develop and form to how it was studied and applied in modern times .

He also made note of the different kinds of engineering and what was involved with each discipline. The last topic he covered was a look at what was considered to be the greatest achievements in engineering in the twentieth century


“For today’s discussion, I would like to ask what each of you think is in an important achievement in engineering and why,” he nodded at the class to signal they could start the discussion.
