Methos is deeply engrossed in a book that has no title on the cover, and looks handwritten. On the white board behind him is written:

No talking during the test. Nuh-huh. Not at all. Nope.

Turn in your test here. (~~Feel free to handwave with some idea of what your character did~~.)

Cameron hands in his essay. He's kept up with the subject for the entire semester so he does pretty well on the test. He gives an accurate overview of the England's medieval history and goes into detail especially when it comes to the military aspects or the more fun facts.

Lana turns in an in-depth, well-thought out essay, which demonstrates that she has indeed both paid close attention and studied thoroughly for the test. Definitely A level work.

Zero handed in her essay. She'd been kind of fascinated by the subject and paid attention, if only to be better able to pester Professor Pierson. Also, she always does the reading. So she's able to give a fairly accurate and concise summary of what she learned during the course, with occasional swerves into rants about how the English liked to kill/try to kill people (specifically their kings and poor stranded girls from the future) in gruesome ways during the medieval period.

Parker's essay is very very comprehensive, ranging from the Beaker people to the Celts to the Romans, a detour to Hadrian's Wall and Boudicca, a bit about Stonehenge (along with notes on how to sneak in with friends willing to pretend to be blind), onto the Saxons and Canute, William the Conqueror, bits about all those Edwards and the Princes in the Tower, with a long bit on Eleanor of Aquitaine. She also mentioned how her knowledge of English Law has now improved her understanding of U.S. common law. And that the bit about the pokers was just gross.

Elizabeth had been listening and doing her reading throughout the semester, so she scribbled frantically throughout all the time given, working straight through from the pre-Medieval things they'd touched on, up until the war of the Roses. Her dates were accurate (~~and digits were no swapped around like the mun does~~), and she seemed to concentrate more on the legal and ruling aspects of the period, such as the birth of officialdom:

The Civil Service, the body of officials who run the country, owes its origin to Henry I. The Curia Regis, or royal court, then consisted of the most important barons, some of them men who would rebel at any excuse. Henry created a class of loyal administrators from the servants of his royal household; the chamberlain, who controlled the royal bedchamber; the marshal, who controlled the royal stables; the treasurer; and the steward, under whose care came the ushers and other attendants. Henry's chancellor, or secretary, now issued writs for the sherrifs, or shire-reeves, who administrated the counties. The chief officer of the state was the justiciar, who was the equivilent of today's Lord Chief Justice in the UK, but also acted as regent when the king was absent from the country. With these men Henry set up a strong rule.

[[ooc: *killinates lj once again omg*]]

What are you still doing here? Shoo. Shoo.

"When do we get our grades? Why didn't you bring us food this time? Why don't you wear tweed?" Parker grinned. "Aren't you glad this class is over?"

As you might be able to guess, I've got brain space again. Yay!
