World History in a Nutshell - Week 1 (09/04)

It's entirely possible that Daniel is looking a wee bit jetlagged at the front of the class and is clutching at a cup of coffee like it's a lifeline.

He smiles as the class files in, leaning against his desk. Once they're all seated, he begins.

"Good afternoon and welcome to World History in a Nutshell. I'm Dr. Jackson, and I'll be taking you through this whirlwind tour of the history of Earth. On your desks is a copy of the tentative syllabus

First of all today, I'd like to go around the room and have everyone do a quick introduction so I can put names to faces."

After that was done, Daniel dimmed the lights.

"We're going to start off with an easy class on prehistory today. I have a documentary, which is about human evolution.

Once that's finished, I'm happy to take any questions and then you can take the Caveman Challenge. I'll be interested to see what percentage you'll get at the end."


[[ooc: Crashing soon and thus will pick up tags when I awaken again. Will also be working from ~2.30- ~10.00 EST]]

Talk to him before or after or during about anything. Also, if you wanted to apply for the TA position, here's a good place :)

"Um, hi. I'm J.C. Broots, but you really don't need to call me anything except Broots. I like computers. I live about twenty minutes away when there's no traffic."

Sam lounged in the doorway. She had one cup of coffee, from which she was sipping.

"I'm Sam Winchester. I'm from Lawrence, Kansas, and I like reading," he said, and yes, he was aware of how lame that was.

Sam was a little disappointed that he only got an 80%. Stupid animals not being scared by his fire.

Hermione pays rapt attention to the documentary, pulling out a fresh notebook and not even looking at the paper as she writes out extensive notes on what she's watching.

"I'm Molly Hayes." She gave Dr. Jackson a small grin. "I'm from LA and I like comic books."

Daniel looked up and smiled widely. "Sam! Hey, come on in. How was your summer?"
