Music 201: Music of the Multiverse - Info
This information will be linked to on Ted's user info page and in the first Music 201 class post.
Music 201: Music of the Multiverse
Teacher: Ted 'Theodore' Logan (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure/Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey)
Times: Thursday Period 7 & Friday Period 7
Player Note: I am in Australia. GMT+10. So basically, I sleep all the way through the Fandom High day. I will do my best to post the class first thing in the morning so you have all day to play. Occasionally, I will falter and have to post it in the late afternoon/early evening Fandom Standard Time. If this happens on a Thursday, I'll understand if you can't get to it before the next class. This will only happen once in a blue moon.

Class 'Rules'/Attendance and Detention Policy
Show up.
Get involved in discussion.
Complete the projects.
Hand in your own work.
If you know you're going to be away, contact me OOCly to let me know.
If you're away and you don't know beforehand, contact me OOCly and let me know what the deal is when you get back.
If you miss two weeks of classes, you're out.
If you consistently miss classes here and there, I'll contact you about dropping the class.
Detention will rarely be given out. I'll just boot you if you abandon the class.
Both class threads are open until 6pm EST Monday each week.
I understand that RL comes first. Duh. Just lemme know when you are around so I don't think you've abandoned us and left us aaaall alone.
Grading System
Stolen from dr_tommy and modified a wee bit.
Overall grading:
A: Student comes to every class, participates in every class and fully completes all 4 projects.
B: Student comes to most classes, participates the majority of the time and fully completes 3 out of 4 projects.
C: Student comes to most classes, participates some of the time and fully completes 2 out of 4 projects.
D: Student comes to classes and fully completes 1 out of 4 projects.
F: Student failed to participate or complete projects.
Project grading:
A: Project kicked ass. It was role-played, completed, done with pizzazz and handed in on time (or with an extension).
B: Project was great. It was completed and handed in on time (or with an extension).
C: Project was decent. It was said to be handed in, but no actual work done.
D: Project was done. It was handed in late and/or unacceptable.
F: Project was not submitted during acceptable time frame.
Pretty much what happens is that I decide that a project is worth a set amount of marks. I'll then go through the project and grade it based on how good it is.
Grade Weighting:
Participation: 30%
Project Work: 30%
Final: 40%
How the Class Works
Classes
1. Ted (or a guest lecturer) gives a lecture on the topic of the week. This will involve a somewhat ridiculous discussion about the music of a particular area of the multiverse (OOCly a particular fandom and its instrumental/incidental music soundtrack or something I made up).
2. Ted will pose a discussion topic or in-class discussion-based assignment.
3. Students sign in and participate in the discussion as much as they want. The funnier the better in this class.
Sometimes there will be small homework pieces. Usually it will just require you to come to class the next week and answer a question or do 'show and tell' with an item related to the topic. It just gives your character a week of ICness to sort it out.
Projects will be given every 3 weeks or so, depending on my availability (ie: it will be approximately 3 weeks, give or take a week if I'm particularly busy one time). Depending on the size of the project you'll have 1-2 weeks to complete it. Don't worry. The projects are going to be something weird and wacky based on whatever I come up with at the time.
