Dear students of term 15,
Firstly, let me thank each and every one of you for coping with me as you have for so long. I'm not the most organized, but regardless, I'm trying to keep this class going & I'd really like to have a lot of fun with you guys this term. So in terms of joining, prepare for commitment, lots of facts, brain teasers and ... house points! Lots and lots of house points. I feel giving you guys that will at least feel rewarding enough to participate.
So, my class runs a lot differently than most others. Lots and lots of questions will be asked. For each question any of you answer correctly, you will be rewarded five house points. Those [as soon as class is over,] will be sent straight to the Headmistress and added, because I don't want to waste anytime. Now, as for how the class itself will be ...
Along with the date, look for a time slot for when class will begin. Class will take place in a certain period of time, because in the past, it had taken weeks - even months for students to finally join in. I don't want to have to wait, or stall or delay others from their learning, so this way, classes & the pace will move faster. Therefore, if you can't make it to class, that's understandable. I will not hold it against you if you can't make the time classes are taking places. However, an owl will be necessary. Dates & times will vary [to accommodate all the different time zones] and are likable to change, so check back frequently.
Remember, class is still in role play format, but answers must be quick [to finish within the time slots] so three - five sentences is all I ask. If you have any questions regarding the class, the class system, or just about the site, do NOT hesitate to owl me or post in this thread. That's what I'm here for.
Honorably & educationally yours,
Professor Black.
Note : this is only directed to fourth years & up, seeing as the TA will be sticking to the "Normal" ways. Unless he/she mentions otherwise.
So yes, questions, post here. Anything you'd like to learn that we haven't yet ... post here. Suggestions = house points for participation. :]
