| | Herbology Final Exam The greenhouse is eerily quiet as you walk in and you notice right away that Bunbury is not present. Detailed instructions are laid out on a giant blackboard at the front of the room, however. It would be best to follow those closely if you value your grade. Quote:

In front of the blackboard is a thick stack of parchments and a big, clear tub full of gently stacked puffapod seeds. There's also a large collection of tall, pink glass vases - enough for one per student.
First you'll want to perform the practical portion and then answer the questions on the provided parchment. Quote: The Practical Exam:
Go select a puffapod seed from the bin in front of the blackboard. Take it back to your desk. Carefully burst the seed like we learned in class, clean up any mess from its explosion, and pick up the flower. Using the spell we learned from Professor Ashby, trim off the roots of the puffapod and trim it to about an appropriate height so that it will sit up nicely in the vase. You might want to cut the stem at an angle so that it can soak up the water effectively. Fill the vase up about 2/3 full using magic and then return it to the desk in front of the blackboard. This portion is worth approximately 10 points. Once you have completed this assignment, clean up your desk a little and answer the written portion. Together, the two portions are worth 35 points total with extra points available for exceptional work. Good luck! Quote: The Written Exam:
1. What is Herbology, and why do we study it? (2 points)
2. What causes a puffapod seed to burst? Describe in detail. (2 points)
3. What are some uses of a puffpod? (2 points)
4. What are some uses of a flutterby? (2 points)
5. How do you know when a plant has had enough water or too much water? (2 points)
6. What is root rot? Is it reversible? (2 points)
7. What is pruning and why do we prune things? (2 points)
8. Describe the process of either potting a plant or planting it in a garden. (3 points)
9. Explain the benefits and drawbacks to planting in a pot. (4 points)
10. Explain the benefits and drawbacks to planting in a garden. (4 points) This portion is worth approximately 25 points. ooc: BOTH PORTIONS are to be PM'd to ME IN ONE PM BEFORE 11:00 PM EST on SUNDAY, APRIL 12th 2009. Absolutely no exceptions if you wish to receive points for your exam. Please RP out the Practical in the PM, and then feel free to just answer the questions right after that in the SAME PRIVATE MESSAGE. If this isn't clear enough, PM me with questions. This thread is for you to RP your character doing basic actions, like entering, exiting, hating on Bunbunz, leaving your finished vase on the table, etc. No points will be given for RPing here; it's just for funsies. Thanks for a wonderful term, peeps! ^__^ |

Jane walked into the greenhouse and read the VERY PINK, whole bunch of instructions, which she doesn't remember as soon as she got to the next sentence. So she took quiet some time just staring at the blackboard, hoping to get everything Professor BunBunz instructed. She did get a freaky feeling like she's being watched by something..like...maybe a white very very verrrrrryy cute bunnyrabbit hiding in the pots somewhere. Oh man, I gotta sleep this whole week!!
Jane had been up all night, all week just cramming for the finals. She must be imagining things. She sat down for awhile to prepare herself to start touching the seeds.

Qaz entered and found a seat. She read the instructions, twice, then got busy. Why did the vases have to be pink...she was getting rather sick of the color pink...now blue, she'd never get tired of blue.....

Daniel entered the greenhouse for his final examinations. He found a nice shady seat and looked at the bright pink writings on the blackboard. He sighed and started to stand up and headed towards the front.

Walking into the Greenhouse, Liz sees the blackboard, and notes, the directions, and grabs a puffapod, before she takes a seat. Right away, she sets to work on the puffapod.

Chris walked briskly into the Greenhouses. He was so excited and stressed about Finals. He did well last year and was determined to do even better this term. He looked at the blackboard and read the notes quickly. He walked quickly and picked up a Puffapod plant, a quill, and parchment and went back to his seat to begin.

Shakily entering the greenhouses Sarah felt like her legs were going to give way beneath her.
Herbology was NOT her fave subject and now she had to do a practical and written exam for the finals.THE FINALS!!
This was not good.
Looking around at those already there the pinkness suddenly hit her and made her feel even more sick than before. "Why does everything have to be pink with this woman?!" she screamed inside her now aching head.
Slinging her bag on the floor beneath a spare seat Sarah turned to read the board and the instructions for what they had to do.
The spell that Ashby taught them? She couldn't do that in the lesson nevermind in this pressure situation! Oh heck I'm so gonna fail, she thought smacking herself on the forehead.
Walking up to the front of the class she picked up some parchment,a Puffapod seed and whatever else was needed before returning to her seat.Plonking herself down she stared at the stuff in front of her. OK...better start I suppose....

Lima headed into the classroom and read the instructions on the board. They seemed simple enough. She got up out of her seat and went over to the puffapod seeds and grabbed one. She took it back to her seat and began working on it.

Freya sighed lightly as she entered the room, 'At least I don't have to draw this time.' She walked up front and read the board, making sure not to miss anything before grabbing a... Pink Vase! AGH! 'Honestly, that crazy professor just has to twist the knife around a bit more doesn't she?'
Nevertheless, Freya picked one up, as well as the plant stuffs she would need, and headed back to a seat she had chosen in the middle of the room. Wishing nothing more than to change the color to something less offensive, like green, or amber, even red.
------
Now. Finally. With strained eyes from staring at a piece of parchment for so dang long, Freya got up and submitted both her plant and written exam.
She wished so bad to be able to change the color of the vase, maybe to a pale blue? No. She'd have to leave things the way they were.
Freya made her way to her seat again, packed away her quill, cleaned up her table one more time, and then left the classroom. Just one last time. The poor thing had to fight back tears that were forming in her eyes...she didn't want to go.

| The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas. William walked in and blinked. pink vases and more puffapods seeds greeted him as he took stock of the situation. Okay, so so far he had done very well in class so this should be no problem for him right?
Wrong.
As he looked at the practical portion of the final his jaw nearly dropped and he sighed. Walking over he carefully picked up a vase, cringing inside at the color and a puffapod seed and the other things he needed before moving quietly to his desk and sitting down frowning.
Guh.

His mood turned bad as he slunked in his chair and put his bag down. He read the instructions on the board, before standing up to go get a puffapod seed. |

Sakura walked into the room gathering up everything she would need for the final. She may not have been very good in Herbology but she had to at least try for her house.

Cale walked into the Herbology final, whistling happily as he took his spot in the classroom. For the first time ever, he was confident that he would do well on this final. Bunbury had gotten him to STUDY, which was something he had never thought possible of himself.
Yet, sadly, as he read the instructions, he was just reminded that there would be no more Herbology class last year. No more Bunbury. No more Hogwarts. Sniff. Cale made a mental note to say goodbye to Bunbury, along with all the professors before he left--but mostly Bunbury. She had made things MORE than interesting this year, she deserved a proper goodbye!

He entered the Greenhouses, suspecting he would be the last student to do so this term and prepared for the most hellish exam he would take all year.
