Tech Systems: Monday. Day...whatever.

[humanenigma.livejournal.com]

Note: TAs. Each one of you needs to show up two days of the week, for both Tech Systems classes. That will serve for two credits: the Comp Sci one -and- either a PE credit OR Mystic Arts credit (expect training soon.). Fight amongst yourself Here.

Students: To get into my class, you just need to show up. There is no paperwork to get into Technology Systems. Computer Science 1A needs my permission, which is garnered through completion of a packet. Ask for it.

*Class today is much like the last one. In fact, the instructions on the board are the same.

'Go here, read the example (which teaches binary), and then complete the sheet. Homework if you don't finish, not if you do.'

Written in large letters underlined and such is 'Another Question: Why binary? Why use that system over another? There is more than one good answer. Will discuss 20 minutes before class ends'.

Question is finishing writing these up on the board when the students enter.*

Class, the work this week will be the same until I know who's in what class. Apologies. You who have finished this work once already, I have other work for you. *points to a few sheets of binary translation and math and such.*

If you have no idea whatsoever how to use a computer, try and snag a Mac. Normally, I won't espouse such favoritism, but must admit, Macs are easy to learn. They are the 'cute' looking computers.

[OOC: for a description of the classroom, look in my memories.]

Sonia walks into the classroom, grabbing one of the sheets off of the teacher's desk. She finds herself a seat at one of the Macs against the far wall.

Snag a Mac?

*Looks at rest of class with concern*

*Writes down homework assignment and leaves before any students get any wise ideas*

It's for their own good.

And mine.

In the future can we say Macintosh?

I've learned some of these guys are *way* too literal.

[humanenigma.livejournal.com]

ah. I understand.

Macintosh it shall be.

*walks in five minutes late waving a late pass from the principal, slumps down in his seat, finishes any and all classwork with far better answers than you'd expect*

Lugs in her laptop with new, improved system from humanenigma on it. Clicks to link. Reads it slowly. Reads it quickly. Prints it out on handy laserprinter and goes over it with red pen, inking up with copywriting marks.

Stares into space for a while. Draws breath to ask teacher a question. He looks up. She thinks better of it.

Drags out worksheet. Doodles on it for a while.

Begins to fill out answers. Completes sheet in ten minutes. Smiles weakly at banter about who will become TA for class (http://www.livejournal.com/users/humanenigma/1332.html). Considers joining in. Thinks better of it.

Spends rest of class doing web research on herbs and witchcraft. Briefly Googles the word "lesbian" but closes the window before anyone can see what she's looking at.

Hmph.

Next time you are late, Connor, you will stop and hand me that note.

[humanenigma.livejournal.com]

Ehh?

Despite all to contrary, can help with questions.

It is in my nature, after all.
