SPRING SEMESTER CLASS SIGN-UPS

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Class Expectations for Students and Teachers (please read first)

1) Students are required to sign up for at least 2 classes, but no more than 4 per student. If you have more than one student, think about sticking to 2 or 3 as it's easy to get swamped and unfair to take up multiple places if you're not going to participate beyond the sign in.
2) This is not first come, first served as that is unfair due to time zones.
3) If there are too many people signing up for the one class then AFTER sign-ups close names will be drawn out of a hat to decide who gets in (so even if a class has hit 20, keep signing up as you have an equal chance of getting in as the first person!). Or we'll use a number generator if we're feeling lazy. It'll be random to be fair either way.
4) Those who do not get in will be allowed to pick a back-up if they want, but please be prepared to respond and choose your backup quickly as time is limited.
5) If you have more than one character sign up for a class please state which character you would prefer to get in. If the class reaches its maximum number of students, you will have to pick one of your characters to put forward. Same applies if you have a student character in a class that your teacher character is teaching.
6) If it's OOC for your character to take a class but you really want to take it anyway, just sign them up and we'll pretend it was a paperwork mishap.
7) TAs - you must sign up for the class you're TAing for and yes, it counts towards your class total (4 maximum).
Please specify if you are the TA for the class.

8) TAs do not count towards the total number of people in the class (ie: a full class will have 20+TAs).
9) By signing up, you agree to participate for the entire semester (15 weeks). Attendance will be recorded as showing up to classes is how we keep track of your activity in the game. If you repeatedly fail to attend classes, you will be contacted. If it continues, you face possible removal from the class and eventual removal from the game.
10) Class descriptions are subject to change at the teacher's discretion.


INSTRUCTIONS:

Pick your class. Respond to that class' thread below with your character's name. Lather, rinse, repeat. Please use your character's respective journal for their sign-ups.

Class Weekly Schedule (this will be linked to via the fandomhigh user info page.

Class sign-ups close at midnight PST on Wednesday, January 2. No late sign-ups are allowed without extenuating circumstances. (ie: sign up sooner than the last day or you're going to forget and look like a dorkface). Students who do not sign up in time will be removed from the game and have to reapply in April.

Please direct any questions or problems to administration@fandomhigh.net.


[Please wait for OCD of doom. If you ping in before the OCD is done, I'll delete your comment and make fun of you. I'll cross out this note when the OCD is done. OCD is done. Go for it.]

ETA: Lawyering up is period 2 on Wednesday, not period 1.

Students will have the opportunity to create inventions great and small! Each week they'll have an assignment to boost either their invention-thinking-upping skills, or their invention-building skills.

(frozen comment) Art History (Rogers, Friday Period 1)

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Don't know Monet from Lascaux? Ever wondered why Van Gogh couldn't just paint a normal-looking sky? Or do you just really love art and want to learn more? Then this is the class for you, since it's an overview of the evolution of art from the earliest scratchings on cave walls up to modern art. Students may find that the two are surprisingly similar.

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Fandom students come from diverse backgrounds. Basic Computing is the course for those unfamiliar with 21st century technology, but students of all skill levels are welcome. The course starts with an introduction to the care and feeding of your personal computer, then moves onto computer programming. Subject material and pace will be determined by the needs of the students. Even if you know how to use a computer, you should learn something new by the end of the course.

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

A hybrid science / history of science course (history only valid in instructor's home universe, money back not guaranteed) taught through lecture/discussion/practical experiment. With topics from alchemy to astrophysics to experimenting under hostile conditions - students should end up with a grounding in experiment technique as well as a sense of scientific self-preservation.

(frozen comment) Fandom Invasions - A History of and Tips for Surviving (Winchester, Thursday Period 4)

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

A look at some of the invasions Fandom has had to deal with in the past, complete with analyzing what was done right and what was done wrong. There will also be discussion on how to be prepared for the inevitable invasion in the future. Classes will be focused on past invasions -- a class on zombies, one on trolls, one on wee tiny bunnies, etc. There will be discussion but there will probably also be simulations in the Danger Shop.

(frozen comment) How to Survive Your Own Cooking (Lulu, Tuesday Period 5)

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

How to Survive Your Own Cooking (and Like It) will, each week, focus on easy meals to make that are (relatively) healthy and also tasty. The purpose of the class is to teach those students who are mostly unfamiliar with the cooking process how to fend for themselves in the kitchen while giving them the basic skills necessary that, should they wish to, they can proceed on their own to more difficult recipes.

(frozen comment) Lawyering Up: The Law in Theory and Practice (Petrelli, Wednesday Period 1)

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

This will cover broad topics such as different types of law (e.g. environmental, civil, criminal, etc.) as well as practical topics (e.g. making a will, getting out of a parking ticket). Exercises to do in class will be things such as debating over case studies, acting out parts of a trial (e.g. opening statements, cross-examination of a witness, etc.), and a possible mock trial for the final if student participation indicates that could be pulled off. (If not, something smaller-scale but hopefully still fun will be offered)

Subtitle: (The Stuff Your Parents Would Be Teaching You If They Hadn't Sent You to Boarding School) Does what it says on the tin. Students will learn how to function in the real world and not go broke or insane, while also not being arrested for tax evasion. Lessons will include how to balance a checkbook, make out a budget, do your taxes, and convert to metric. For practical purposes the US system will be used when appropriate.

(frozen comment) The Art of Cool (Stinson/Bell, Friday Period 2)

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Tink and Barney feel that this town is severely lacking in what they would call "cool". So many students are slovenly, acne-ridden failures who listen to bad music and have awful relationships. Much of this is because they are teenagers, and cannot be helped - but some of it can! Come to Barney and Tink! Feel the enlightenment! Learn to be less pathetic than you are! Be cool, or learn to fake it pretty damn well! ... Or be mocked for trying.

(frozen comment) Ye Shall Be As Gods? (Mizrahi, Wednesday Period 3)

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

YSbaGs? is a class devoted to open-minded, in-depth discussion of various ways that people have found to push the boundaries of science beyond all reason and into what would traditionally be considered to be the ken of the gods. It will focus on the possible consequences of these advancements both on a personal level and on society as a whole, as well as question students on where and when personal responsibility for these advancements end. If you’ve made it, can you handle it when it goes wrong? And just because you can do it, does that mean you should? Various topics would include: genetic alteration – would you do it to some one else? To yourself? What kind of alteration? – artificial life-forms – what rights and freedoms should they have? How much control can you even have over something with a mind of it’s own? – and mind control – what right do you have to meddle with someone else’s mind? What would drive you to do this? What if it went wrong?
