Ingrid walked into the first challenge room and listened as Ms Mcardle explained their task. Getting a copy of the High inquistors notes the dark haried division head proceeded to take a seat an empty desk. Conjuring up the supplies she needed Ingrid got to work.

Charms:
While Professor Flitwick is cheerful and welcoming, the Hogwarts High Inquisitor, that is to say I, feel that this demeanor encourages the wrong sort of learning environment. While the students were focused on their studies, there were more mishaps than one would have expected, all of which resulted in far too much merriment.
Points for improvement: Professor Flitwick should focus on disciplining his classes when they step out of line, and conduct his lessons with a serious manner.
Action to be taken: Probation not deemed to be necessary.
I don’t think that Professor Filtwick should be fired. The high inquisitor may ask for more discipline and that might be justified but I think it is very important to have a warm and loving professor who is passionate about his subject and his students. If the professor loves his subject and reflects that in teaching, the students will want to learn too. It is in the student’s best interests to see and learn that making mistakes and causing mishaps as you call it high inquisitor is perfectly okay and besides if you aren’t allowed to do wrong then how are you supposed to get better and evolve as a person or further your skills in charms?

Divination: Professor Trelawney lacks the basic skills of divination and teaching. Her predictions are a mixture of deduction and wild guesses. Her class control is minimal, she resorts to making ghoulish predictions in order to scare or bore her students into submission. She is also unable to make predictions on request.
Points for improvement: Professor Trelawney needs to revisit some tried and tested, ministry approved disciplinary procedures and apply them. She must also become more accurate in her predictions and teaching methods.
Action to be taken: Further inspection is required. Probation may be a necessary measure.
I think in Professor Trelawney’s case she could be fired considering her unorthodox methods of teaching. It is never good to try to gain students trust and respect by making predictions that scare them. Lack of order is also something that disrupts the student’s education and she seems inadequate to fully be in charge of a room filled with students. Then there is the matter of her seer ability. Shouldn’t a seer be able to make predictions when asked and not just now and again? I think it is in the student’s best interest that Professor Trelawney will be replaced by someone who can teach the art of Divination and have control of his/her classroom in a way that further rather than hinders the student’s education.

Care of Magical Creatures:Professor Hagrid is difficult to understand, intimidating to the students and seems to take pleasure in the thought of other people being hurt. His curriculum is vastly inappropriate for the age group he is teaching and he refuses to admit this. There have been injuries in his classes, one of which has led to a hypogryff being sentenced to death by the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures, although the beast escaped, something that the Hogwarts High Inquisitor, that is to say I, am convinced was arranged by Professor Hagrid.
Points for improvement: Professor Hagrid should follow the lesson plans left by Professor Grubbly-Plank while he reassesses his curriculum so that it is in line with Ministry expectations. He should also concentrate on enunciating clearly so that the students can understand him.
Action to be taken: Further inspection is required. Probation may be a necessary measure.
I love Professor Hagrid dearly but in the best interest of the students of Hogwarts I think he should be removed from his teaching position. Hagrid is as I see it of better use to the students as an advisor and friend rather than an educator. A professor should know what each year is capable of handling and not just show creatures that he deems fun and interesting. Third years shouldn’t meet real hippogriffs if there is any chance that bad words or evil actions can lead to severe injuries. Safety is a key and I know Hagrid means well but it is something that can’t be overlooked. So for Hagrid’s lack of pedagogic knowledge I think he should be removed from his position. I don’t doubt his vast knowledge of creatures I just worry about the safety of the students taking his class.

Herbology: While Professor Sprout has a sound knowledge of her subject and so she is able to convey this knowledge to a reasonable standard. However, she allows her pupils to use foul language in her classes, something that the Hogwarts High Inquisitor, that is to say I, find most abhorrent and unnecessary. The amount of group work that is undertaken by Professor Sprout’s classes is also of concern, as they seem at times to almost be teaching each other, rather than receiving instruction from her.
Points for improvement: Professor Sprout would benefit from revisiting and revising some basic teaching skills, including what is acceptable language for the classroom.
Action to be taken: Probation not deemed to be necessary.
I don’t think that Professor Sprout should be fired. She definitely needs to take actions against the bad language used by the students in her classes but otherwise I deem her to be a very competent professor who knows what she is doing. Group work I deem to be a great method for learning together and as an individual. In a group you as a individual benefit from the knowledge of others and can with their help broaden your own knowledge and skills in herbology.

Potions:
Professor Snape is a highly competent Professor who had excellent control over his classes. It is clear that he has consistently and throughly educated his students throughout his tenure at Hogwarts. The Hogwarts High Inquisitor, that is to say I, have doubts about some of the potions that are currently on the syllabus, for example Strengthening Solution. However, there are other considerations to take into account which outweigh this. Professor Snape seems to be highly skilled in many areas and seems to be an asset to the school.
Points for improvement: Professor Snape should consider revising which potions are on the syllabus as some of them are too advanced for young children.
Action to be taken: Probation not deemed to be necessary.
I agree with the High inquisitor that Professor Snape is highly competent and has good control of his classroom. How he gets control of his students can though be questioned since intimidation isn’t a method in my book that should be used to gain the respect and trust of his students. Overall though I think with Professor Snape’s vast knowledge in many areas including potions he is an asset to Hogwarts. This isn’t a popularity contest but Professor Snape isn’t exactly known for his people skills, professors are though not hired on those grounds so I’m not going to go into that. Professor Snape should therefore in my opinion not be fired.
Ingrid rolled up her parchments and handed them and then sat and awaited her verdict. Was her opinions good or not?
