Math; Wednesday, First Period [09/15].

[died8yearsago]

If the students couldn't tell by the way Rosa came in just slightly behind the start of class and threw her math textbook (which looked like it had probably been thrown quite a few times as a variety of different things but mostly walls and possibly through at least one window) on the desk with a sigh that there was very clearly nothing else she would rather be doing right now that teaching another dumb math class. Definitely no actual work or anything she could be doing, nope, just math, apparently, but at least it would be over soon and eventually, she might even get to the point where she decided she wasn't going to let a stupid moose dictate her life like this, dammit.

That thought seemed to play in her mind a little as she looked at that book, but, this time, for yet another week, the moose and the book won out and she turned her attention to the students.

"Right," she said. "Algebra today. Which seemed to be where we lost some of you on the assessment test, so this should be fun. But most algebra isn't really that hard; some of it is ridiculous and stupid, sure, but the basic stuff is really just like solving a puzzle or a mystery. Or a crime. Where a or b or x is like the suspect, and you've got to figure out who it is so the rest of it all fits together. For example..."

( Why am I actually writing this lesson out??? )

She set down the chalk, wiped some dust off her hands and realized that her black wardrobe was probably going to be a problem in this class until they changed that board, and turned to the class.

"You followed all that, right?" she asked, and, for their sake, she hopes that they did, because she didn't know how else to explain it and it should be interesting if they didn't. "Let's just....practice some of it, I guess. I'll call your name, you'll come up to the board," she winced in advance for Malia's turn, "I'll give you a problem, and we'll see if you can work it out, either by yourself or with help from the class. Or...something."

She didn't know. She didn't teach math!

The Modern World & You, Wednesday Second Period

[tellmehowstuffworks]

Jaskier was looking a touch frazzled and clutching a PSL because it was his bribe from the squirrels. He wasn't giving it up now, okay? He wasn't. "Welcome back! So lovely to have someone other than Yennefer around."

He was just asking to get smacked with magic.

Yennefer really wasn't sure why she hadn't turned him into a toad yet. "Yes, welcome back. Today's class will be on..." Yennefer paused to build anticipation, then said excitedly, "Indoor plumbing!" It was so exciting, you guys.

"Which, perhaps you're used to it. Perhaps you're not used to things smelling like shit constantly and the like, but back home for us... it can be hit or miss," Jaskier said.

"And if you want to get a bath, oof," Yennefer said. "You have to get the servants, and the servants have to heat the water, and then they have to carry the water, and then they have to carry the water to drain the tub. Here you just turn a handle and it comes out of the wall, hot! And it's not even magic. It's technology." Which was magic wearing a funny hat.

"So, let us discuss the differences this one invention has played in your lives, shall we?" Jaskier said brightly.

"How much harder would your life be without running water?" Yennefer asked. The answer was so much harder. "Discuss."

Introduction to Engineering - Wednesday, 3rd Period

[notagoose]

Goose had spent the morning being lectured at by Commander Walsh since he had only had his interceptor for not even two weeks and he’d already crashed it.

He had been granted a replacement interceptor and managed to get to Fandom about an hour before his class was due to start. So his original lesson plan wasn’t going to cut it today since he hadn’t finished it in time so he decided to do something else for that class instead.

“So I had something else planned but I had an emergancy back home and only just got back,” Goose explained, “so we’re having a movie day today,”

It also happened to be one of the few movie’s that Goose had seen because it was one of Captain Foxx’s favourite old Earth movies and it had been his pick the last time they’d had a team movie night so that had been what inspired today’s impromptu class.

Was it weird to have a movie day in engineering class? He wasn’t sure but he was rolling with it, “this movie is a good example what can be achieved in engineering under pressure and how vital these skills are, it is also based on a true story from the early days of the old NASA space program,”
