| Term 11: December-March 2006 Term Eleven: Love is in the Air (Sept. 2057 - June 2058) |

| | DADA Final Exam "Attention, students! The time has come for final exams. In lieu of the traditional final exam, I have decided to allow you to write me a final paper instead. Following are the guidelines:
1) The paper may be on any DADA topic of your choosing. More points go for creativity and for not choosing a topic we've already covered in class.
2) The paper must be 12 inches long (give me one double-spaced pages) or so.
3) You may work alone or with a partner. If you work with a partner, you must have BOTH of your names and BOTH of your houses clearly labeled. If I have to guess, I won't grade it.
4) The paper will be worth up to fifty house points (PER PERSON). I would encourage YOU to encourage your house mates to attempt a paper.
5) The paper is due before the End of Term Feast. I would like it owled to me NO LATER than March 6th. It should be owled to me at ProfessorRae@yahoo.com. It will not be accepted at any other email address or by PM. PERIOD.

Final exams? Methinks this may be a little out of place....

If we team up, do we get 50 points per person or 50 points for the team?

Either is fine. I'd prefer it in the body of the email, but I can receive attachments if it looks cleaner to you. That might also help you measure. Quote:

Your friend is correct... 50 per person... but the "paper" must be longer to justify having two people work on it. Like... twice as long. Quote:

is the Professor just giving us a heads up?
Um... of course I"m still teaching my class. I'm just giving everyone a little advance warning.
As for the rest of you who think I've gone bonkers... trust me. I'm just telling you now so you have lots of time to brainstorm.

Yup... and the more out there and creative you can be, the more I'll reward you. I get bored reading the same things over and over . Quote:

I'm sorry... I don't understand what your question is asking. What questions are you talking about? Quote:

But of course, peanut. You can write about whatever you like... within the DADA field, of course.

My essay may include an extremely graphic description of the Dementor's kiss, how far should I go? I mean, is there anything I shouldn't go beyond?

Okay I have a few questions... and I mean there are a few, please don't kill me. they are:
1. How many out of these categories: dark creatures, half human, undead beings, dark spells, and dark objects. Are we allowed to write about? Would you allow more than one for a single person writing the paper?
2. Are we allowed to make references to another and/or other: dark creatures, half humans, objects and spells if necissary and relivant to what we are writing about?
(Note: Reason being is I am going to work with a nocturnal half human and an undead being that are somewhat similar to each other, sort of combined... but at the same time not and I will have to write about both of them... I wanted to make sure this was okay before I started to plot and write the paper.)
3 Are we allowed to write a short story-like, information packed paragraph or more? kind of like an eye witness account sort of thing, or RP our character pretending do to something like fight the adove things, or have them say what they would do if challenged with the above? ( I might not do this but if I do I want to make sure its cool with you.)
3. How graphic are we allowed to go with the gory parts? for example mine might include blood and death and/or killing. (But then again it might not.)
4 And lastly, are we allowed to go over the 12 inch text length if we can't get all the information and details into the 12 inches of text?
Thank you.
I'm sorry it was so long... I just wanted to make sure all of this was allowed before I wrote the paper. XD
~*Ozzy*~
P.S I was also wondering if it is possible for you to give us some hints to sites or other places that may help us out a little bit with this assignment.

do you have to do about things that are dark, could you not do about things used in DADA that are good rather than evil

I though that final exams were at the end of the hogwarts year, or is this different from the books?

I think it's more of a final project than a final exam.
I was also wondering if we could write about more than one thing in our essay.

I've already sent mine in about a week ago and I just realized now you might find that annoying. I mean, we still have like two months.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "graphic" but I'm going to say... site rules apply, but everything else is fair play. You won't scare me or anything . Quote:
1. How many out of these categories: dark creatures, half human, undead beings, dark spells, and dark objects. Are we allowed to write about? Would you allow more than one for a single person writing the paper?
I'm going to try to encompass all of your questions at once. I hope. You can include multiple topics in your paper, but ultimately, this should be in the form of an ESSAY. So... I don't want bullets or different topics unless they are all related. You are ALLOWED to write about any DADA topic. Seriously. As long as it is SS appropriate. And last... *thinks* it can be longer if you need it to be. Just be considerate of how many essays I have to read . I'm not going to give you any other sites, aside from the Lex, just because the research is half the effort. Quote:
do you have to do about things that are dark, could you not do about things used in DADA that are good rather than evil
Of course.... defensive spells or things like that are defniitely up for grabs. Quote:

They are... and if you look, you'll see the due date is at the end of the term . Quote:

You can write about whatever you want, but make sure it is cohesive. It should at least have a common theme. Quote:

No, it's cool. I definitely marked it, and I'll grade it later. *blows kisses*

a few ?'s:
1. Can 1st years do this?
2. If so, can we do an essay on defensive spells, possible uses (like what we'd use them for), and things like that?
3. If we do it on Dark creatures etc. what types of stuff should we include?

Anyone at all is free to take this exam.... and I hope that you all will try.
And your essay can be on ANY topic. I promise... within the Defense field, any subject is fair game. And any information you have on that topic should be included. Feel free to make some up if you need to... as long as it doesn't contradict canon.
