History of Magic Information

[Queety White]

Welcome to History of Magic!

[/i]

Okay, so most likely you're taking this class because you need to as a core requirement. However there may be the select few who have interest in education or magical law and this class will be important. Either way I promise you that this class will soon become one of great interest. You'll want to be here.

You are taking this class to prepare for your future. Odd sounding, I know. But, you see, if we can learn from our past, we can shape our future. If we remain ignorant of what our ancestors had done, we are capable of making the same mistakes. So, while I will try to make the class interesting for you by explaining how life was back then, I also hope that this class will involve great debates on how this can effect our lives in the future.

The class will be separated into four sections: Beginner, Intermediate, Medium-Advanced, and Advanced. Your year does not determine your placement but rather your skill in the class. You are required to go as high as the Medium-Advanced Level by the time you reach your fifth year. You can only stay in one level for no more than three terms. Two terms is usually the norm. More information is explained in the schedule below.
