[OOC: It's like the anti-Mad Lib. Class Info Post.]

Okay, class! On Tuesday, I handed out insert book title here and assigned the first fifty pages. The first section is highly subjective, so I want to know what you thought author was talking about. What point was gender-related pronoun, likely male trying to make, and how does it apply to our sense of Justice number of years after publication date years later?

But first I thought it might be useful to know more about author's background. Author was born in English-speaking country in some year. Gender pronoun, likely masculine went to some fancy school, I'm sure and went on to write probably a whole bunch of books on the theory of Criminal Justice. Author spent some years as a lawyer? maybe judge? or maybe a prisoner. who knows? something that gave him a solid perspective before doing something significant which is why we're talking about him in the first place, whomever he is.

Now, let's hear your thoughts! Facts about the book and what it specifically said must be struck. Opinions and interpretations may look however you'd like.

Also, just so you know, we will be having a short quiz next Thursday. It will be just a brief overview of what we've talked about the past several weeks since the last test. Nothing to worry about too much!

"I, too, founds the author to be pretentious, especially given his relative lack of experience in the specific area he addressed. It seemed that most of his conclusions were drawn from theory, rather than from practical experience. Now I realize that back when book was written the communication systems of whatever world this book came from were relatively primitive, but it seemed that a more thorough fact-checking could've stopped some of the more insane theories on Justice he put forward." Anakin looked up at the professor. "I've read mission reports that were better written."

"Excellent analysis, Anakin! Very good critique!" The Tick smiled at his complete lack of potential follow-up questions.
