Sociology of Violence: 2nd Period

Grissom is standing at the front of the class, feeding a few tarantulas who are perched on his desk in their terrariums. They've been officially banned from his apartment and office, and will now live in the lab. Poor ~~T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chili~~ spiders.

"Welcome, everyone. After doing all that reading this weekend, you should be familiar now with the material.

So, instead of lecturing you, today we will participate in a project.

Using the full resources of the Humanities wing (the AV/computer lab, Grissom's creepy stuff, the science materials, etc.), I'd like you to design some sort of Anti-Violence message for the campus.

You will not be graded on this, so feel free to be experimental. At the end of class, share ~~describe, link, whatever~~ what you have done with the class.

Sociology of the Paranormal: 6th Period

"Please turn in your homework."

Grissom then lectures on the Sokal Affair as his students probably nod off, and lets them go without assigning any homework.

"Please share your projects, or project ideas, with the class."

Please sign in.

Hand in your homework.

Grissom is hanging out with his tarantulas, and they are actually very friendly.

Paige signs in, coughing.

Having not handed her homework in ~~cos the mun totally forgot about it~~ cos she's been ill she approaches Grissom.

"Excuse me sir *cough* I wondering if I could get an extension on my homework? Til say next lesson? I've not been been so well." she explains before descending into a coughing fit.

Bel signs in.

"Dr. Grissom, I had a...difficult weekend. Can I have an extension for my homework?" Bel asks hopefully. "I know I'm not setting a good example as a TA and I really want to do the project, but I had, um, a difficult weekend."

"That's fine, Paige."

Grissom winces, hoping something isn't going around, as he really doesn't want to get sick, and he catches everything. He hands her a tissue. "Are you okay?"

"Of course, Bel. That's not a problem. Is everything okay?"

Luckily she'd turned away and put her hand over her mouth, she wasn't an animal!

"Thank you sir."

She takes the tissue and smiles slightly, "Just a bug I think, it's actually better than it was, I kinda don't remember Saturday so you're kinda lucky I'm here, it's Sunday in my head,"

Stark signs in.

"You should be resting, or you're only going to become more ill," he says in a rather fatherly, but grating, tone.

"Wednesday is fine. Remember, that's the day that comes before Thursday," he smirks. "Feel better."

I'm just wondering about your class procedures. I will do my best to actually participate, because, hey, good chance to RP a situation, but I wasn't able to interview someone for this homework.

Is it okay to say *Cordelia hands in some sub-par homework* or something like that?

Sorry! I will do better, promise :D

Jessica signs in smiling.

[That's totally fine. My CLASS INFO POST OF DOOM! (http://www.livejournal.com/users/drgrissom/7069.html), only without the doom, was posted along with the sign-ups for reference. I'm pretty laid-back OOC for a teacher, is the summary. Just have your *Cordelia passes in ____* stay in character with the specific idea of what you're going to have her final grade be in mind, so Grissom's grading has some legitimacy. :) ]

She nods, "I've spent most the weekend in bed, but I'm gonna go back to the attic and rest now."

She smirks back "And today's isn't Sunday right! Thanks Doctor Grissom, I'll see you on Wednesday, with my homework."

[[Sweet! Thanks so much, you're very helpful :D]]

Cordy signs in.

Marty turns in his transcribed homework. (http://oatmanspatient.livejournal.com/38521.html)

He tries to pay attention to the lecture but eventually falls asleep on his desk.

If you listen closely you might hear him mutter "Two dollars...".

Angela signs in. Dr. Grissom might notice there's something different about her.

Our assignment was to interview someone from Fandom about a paranormal experience they have encountered. We needed to determine the who, what, where, and when, as well as ask them three additional questions.

I spoke to a student who asked to not be identified by name. They reported having an encounter with another student who was dead, and yet somehow not. That student was at the bookstore buying books on ghosts to "maximize their afterlife experience" just last week.

In addition, I asked my source if there was there any way to tell that the student they ran into was or had been dead from the way they behaved. My source replied, ""Other than them wanting to be better at being dead? No."

I also asked if they happened to know how the student had died, but my source did not and reported not having even been aware that said student was/had been dead until this incident.

As my last question I asked if my source had ever seen someone who was dead or a ghost before. They replied that they had and talked about having performed a seance and having actually been able to contact a spirit.
