ooc: This is going to be an experiment. We'll see how it goes and if everyone enjoys it and I don't have to spend half my time deleting posts and berating people for posting in the wrong class then I'd like to continue teaching this way. If it doesn't work out, either because I'm not keeping up, the students are having a bad time, or just won't stay out of the classes they shouldn't be posting in, then I'll just call it a failed experiment and go back to the usual way of doing things. I have a plan for continuing in this manner so, hopefully we all hold up our ends of the bargain.


ATTENTION POTIONS STUDENTS

This term, we will be splitting the classes up into three groups:

Beginner Potions - First, Second, & Third year students ONLY
This class is intended to be an introduction to the basics of potion brewing with an emphasis on basic technique, safety, theory, and procedures. Simple potions will be used as examples in order to practice what is learned.

OWL Level Potions - Fourth & Fifth year students ONLY
This class is intended to prepare students for their OWL exams. Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of potion brewing and more advanced potions will be studied and brewed.

NEWT Level Potions - Sixth & Seventh year students ONLY
Only the most gifted and devoted students will make it into this most advanced class. This class is intended, not only to prepare students to take their NEWT exams, but to give students enough knowledge and technique to begin developing their own potions. Emphasis is placed on identifying potions and their contents, developing antidotes, and formulation of new, unique, potions.


Please only attend those classes for your year. Others will be asked to leave and their Head of House will be notified.


OOC NOTE: You MUST have your year listed in your profile so, that I know you are posting where you belong. Failure to do so, or posting in the wrong class, will result in the deletion of your post(s). If you are caught changing your year just to post in classes you don't belong in, you may be expelled at the discretion of the headmistress (I do not abide cheaters and neither does my character).


You may ask any ooc questions about how class will work here. Please do not ask when class will start. I start class when I have a few hours free to run it.
