Friday Ethics Class #2, 8-10am
Tara looks excited, as students trickle in, bouncing slightly on the balls of her feet.
"Okay, we've got a lot to get through today. Two announcements to start:
First, Teacher's Assistants have been chosen. I have a carrot - Major K! - and a stick - Angelus. If you're having trouble grasping a concept, talk to Major K!. He'll guide you through the thinking. If you think you've got a hold on it, talk to Angelus. He'll challenge your thinking, give you the opportunity to clarify your position.
Second, and related to the latter - this class is not an easy A. At some point in this course you will find yourself challenged and confronted. For many of you, that will be today. If you walk out of this classroom before class is over, and without checking it with me, I may be understandably upset. However, I recognise that if you get angry or upset, you may need some time alone, or away from the group. To that end, I present to you theEmo Closet Time Out Room." She walks to the back of the classroom and opens the door to what previously was a supply cabinet. Inside is what looks very much like a white padded room. "This room is soundproofed. You can cry, scream and punch things all you want, and I will not penalise you for leaving the class or the discussion. Major K! or I will come to check on anyone who goes to the Emo Closet Time Out Room, in case you need help or support. Feel free to tell us to leave you alone.
Now, we've got our first debate to hear, a discussion topic to... um, discuss, and your first out of class assignment.Which you are going to kill, or at least seriously maim, me for giving you.

If not, My Lady is most gracious to her unworthy students to consider extending the debate.
*hugs*
Re: Debate - OOC
Thesis due in 7 hours, and I've just discovered that I'm 1350 words over the limit (15,000). It's like asking me to kill a child, really - what do I chop?
Am heading in to see supervisor now and make it her problem.
I swear I will get my head back onto FH problems just as soon as my real life one has been handed in. And then I'm bringing in cookies for everyone.

Re: Debate - OOC
Try trimming down intro and conclusion paragraphs and see if you put more than you needed to in the overall intro.
Look at example paragraphs and see if the language can be trimmed.
You can do this. I know it. *believes in you*
FH problems are minor. Real life WAY comes first.
Re: Debate - OOC
Sorry it took so long. PW stuff is killing me, not to mention Becky's date with Geoff and RL stuff.
Re: Debate - OOC
You rock mightily. :)
