Math; Wednesday, First Period [11/02].

[special_rabbit]

At this point, Amaya was clearly on a teaching streak, to the point where she was almost thinking of calling up Sidon and the chocobros to tell them 'don't worry, I got this!' and not bother coming in for their classes this week! Might as well make it a full streak, right?

But, before all that, she needed to get through this class first, and she gave the students a nod when they got to their desks (which, by the way, teaching in an actual classroom was kind of bizarre, and she was thinking this was actually her first time even doing it!).

"Good morning, everyone," she said. "I'm sure you're not surprised to see a bit of a new face at the front of the classroom again today, seems there's a bit of turn-taking going on with this one, but I can assure you, today, you're in good hands! For those of you who don't know, my name is Amaya Blackstone, I usually teach shop class and weaponry around here, but today, looks like I'll be trying my hand at maths. And looking over the notes from the other teachers, I was able to spot a nice gap in the cirriculum so far that means we're going to talk about one of my personal mathematic principles, and that is quadratic equations."

Wait. Did she say...favorite?

"Now, back where I'm from," she continued, "we actually called them Nesselfoot's Quandries," she turned around to write both terms on the board, "and I can't even tell you how many nights I spent staying up late trying to work my way through them!"

Wait a minute...

"Nothing quite like the thrill and fun of wrangling one of these equations into submission with a nice handy formula like a puzzle key to the right solution."

Oh no.

That's right. Amaya Blackstone had secretly been a math nerd this whole time.

Well, maybe not so secretly, if you really thought about it.

"Now," she began oblivious to any worry or dread that might be settling into the class so far, and she continued to write on the board, "the real key to solving any quadratic equation is through the use of the quadratic formula, which goes like this...."

And thus, the lecture continued, in which it was way too early to actually break down into narrative for the poor soul writing this thing, but before long (perhaps much too long), the board was vertibly filled with hopefully everything you'd need to know about Fesselfoot's Quandries...errrr....the Quatradic Formula!

"Pretty simple," said Amaya, turning back to the class now with an eager grin, "once you really look at it, wouldn't you say? So! Who's got questions? Who's ready to do some examples?"

She did, however, notice that she hadn't exactly left much room on the board for more examples beyond those she used in her lecture. "Errr," she said, "or maybe we'll just go off of the worksheets from your textbooks instead."

The Modern World & You, Wednesday Second Period

[tellmehowstuffworks]

"Did you know," Yennefer asked the class, "that in this reality you don't have to cook food if you don't want to?" Pay no mind to the fact that your teachers look like they've never cooked anything in their lives anyway.

Well, they might have burned a thing over a campfire once. Maybe.

But mostly no.

"There is an application on your phone that can have food brought directly to you," Jaskier informed the class.. "which feels likes it's own sort of domestic magic."

"You don't even have to go to a tavern or retain your own servants!" Yennefer marveled. She held up her phone. "Here is how it works. You simply download the application, find the food you want to eat, select it, pay for it with the fake internet money, and then someone brings it to you!" Amazing. Also, not the most helpful tutorial in human history.

"Let's order from The Perk, shall we?" Because clearly that was on Doordash here, right?

"Yes, let's," Yennefer said. Because someone surely had nothing better to do than climb the stairs to bring them all coffees. "Don't forget to tip."

Introduction to Engineering - Wednesday, 3rd Period

[notagoose]

This week Goose had been able to actually finish his original lesson so it was actually a proper lesson today.

“Welcome back,” he nodded to the class, “this week we’re going to start our environmental engineering module for the next couple of weeks,”

He started with the general overview of what environmental engineering was and made particular key points of the impact that it had in terms of the environment and the importance that it played.

“For this week’s practical I thought we’d try building weather vanes and then we can take them outside to give them a test run,”
