Carl Jung - Archetypes, Etc. (Monday, 01/09/2006, 4th Period)

{{CLASS IS CLOSED FOR GRADING}}

Jenny stood at the front of the classroom. Off to the side, as it was the first day of classes, she had laid out bagels and cream cheese for everyone.

After the students signed in and took their seats, Jenny started today's lecture.

"You're lucky, guys. Today's the easy class. Mostly introductions, plus a little bit about my expectations. Class is discussion-based. That means that your credit comes from participation. Sitting there while everyone else does the work? Does not earn you a good grade."

{{OOC: In other words, posting things like "[character] listens to the discussion around him" or "[character] sits and waits for someone to discuss with" will not earn you your participation credit that day. Jenny's always around to discuss with--and if RL is hurting you, I will accept even one line, as long as it's on the topic of discussion for that day.}}

"Don't forget to sign in every day. I don't see you sign in? You don't get freebie points for attendance, and I think free points for attending class is a pretty good deal. If you ever have questions on the material--or anything else, for that matter--I hold office hours on a pretty regular basis, or you can stop by after class is over."

"We will also be having monthly exams covering all the material learned over that month. Those? Last day of the month that we have class. You can come and check your course grade with me any time. If you're worried about your grade? Extra credit's a possibility. Again, come and talk to me."

"We will be having a final project. This project is worth one-third of your grade, and if you don't turn it in, you will fail the course. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to work on it. Besides, you're getting the project instead of a final exam."

{{OOC: Class will remain open for sign-in and discussion comments until I start grading it, usually before the next class begins. At that point in time, I will no longer accept any posts in that thread. When we begin discussion on the final project, however, there will be a specific due date for that (the last day of the term, of course).}}

"Still looking for a TA. You want the job? Great, come and talk to me to apply."

"Now, onto the easy part. I don't know you guys. Introduce yourselves, and let me know why you signed up for the course."

{{OOC: OCD comment threads going up shortly are up. Comment away!}}

Lee smiles politely and says, "Hello, I'm Lee Adama. I'm from the planet Caprica and I'm currently a junior. Err... anything else, just ask me!"

"Oh...and yes, I'm taking this class because I plan to be a military officer in the Colonial Fleet and having a good knowledge of human psychology will be of great use to me, I think."

Lee chuckles. "That's top secret, ma'am. But I can tell you that we're in a nearby galaxy."

"Yes, ma'am -- err... Yes, Ms. Calendar," Lee says, slightly confused.

Clark wanders over and signs up, before noticing the bagels and cream cheese and darting over to partake in them, feeling much better about this whole 'first day of class' thing. Fandom High can only be so scary when food is involved.

Edward smiles shyly. "Hi, i am Edward. I'm taking this class because it's nice to know a bit more about the human psychology so i can understand other people. People are weird I don't know, it just sounded interesting to me" He smiles again.

Clark raises his hand before speaking, even though its seemingly not required. "I'm Clark Kent -- I'm a freshman, just transfered from Smallville in Kansas, which is...small. I'm in this class, cause, well, it sounded interesting?"

Angel takes a seat somewhere in the middle of the room, but away from the windows if the classroom has any.

"Angel. Um. Guess you could say I've kinda got an interest in what influences us to do what we do."

Angel noticed a face he hadn't seen before. "Hey, you're one of the new students?"

Anakin cleared his throat. "I'm Anakin Skywalker, senior, from Coruscant, a planet that it is, well, far, far away. My life is going to be spent negotiating with various beings, many of them human. Any class that allows me to understand them better is only going to helpful in the long term."

Lee smiles at the fellow aliennew student. "Hi, Clark!"
