Located on one of the walls within the Hufflepuff common room, the noticeboard is where you’ll find the latest announcements, assignments, and upcoming classes. Your kneazle eating your homework is no longer a viable excuse, badger loves. You’ll have no choice but to be in the know now.
OOC: Anyone can help update this thread with the most recent assignments, activities, and announcements. In fact, it’s encouraged!

Charms Homework 2
First Part: Reflect on your task and what crossed your mind during the challenge. How did you react and how did it affect your casting? Was it harder to cast under pressure? Was it the same as practicing the charms in class? Did you freeze? Did you work better when you had something to protect? Write a paragraph (five sentences) detailing your experience in protecting your fort.
Second Part: Choose a charm and list three ways in which it can work as a defense and three ways in which it can work as an offense.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to meet with me after class or drop by my office.
OOC: Hello! The homework is pretty straightforward, but if you have any questions VM or PM me. ^__^ It is due on Friday, November 5th @ 12 PM, GMT -6. (:
Activity: Try, again, to cast a spell you know well, preferably a Transfigurative spell. Now try playing with these things (posture/form, wand movement, pronunciation, focus etc.), For example; try it with good form/posture and good focus, but saying it incorrectly. Try saying it correctly with good form but not focusing etc. See what happens and reflect on the activity by answering the questions below.
Question 1: Why is focusing on a spell so important? What are the results if poorly done?
Question 2: Why is the correct pronunciation of a spell so important? What are the results if poorly done?
Question 3: Why is correct form/posture and wand movement so important? What are the results if poorly done?
Question 4: How can you improve your spells by using the techniques we practiced in class (stretching exercises, verbal and focus exercises)?
OOC: Homework Due in 2 weeks (Saturday 14th November at 11:59PM GMT). Please read the guidelines regarding homework submission.
Your activity post only needs to be one well formed post, however if you would like to do more than one post, go ahead. You can work in groups or solo. If you have any questions, please PM me.

Potions Homework 2
Answer these questions:
Do you think the name “love potion” befits this type of potions or would you give them some other name? Why?
Do you think wizards will be able to create real love in the future?
Love potions cause infatuation and therefore the drinker is very open to manipulation. Yet, they aren’t banned by the Ministry. Why do you think that is? Explain your thoughts in detail whether you think they should be banned or not.
Discuss the ethical side of love potions. Can there be a legitimate reason for their use?
Perhaps the biggest joke of the world is that Lord Voldemort was the child of a marriage that was sustained only with a love potion. Do you think that affected his personality and in the end, his actions? Why? Why not?
Length: Except for the questions #1 and #2, the answers should be at least 3 sentences long. There isn't a maximum limit. Due: November 28th, 23.59 GMT/18.59 EST Worth: 15 points

Divination Homework
Please write about how your onion sprouted and what that means based on your divination reading. In the paper (two paragraphs of 3 or 4 sentences) please also include which you feel is a better form of divination Cromniomancy or Ichthyomancy? Please explain your answer.
For extra credit please tell me if you could make up a form of Divination using food what would it be and how would you do a reading on it.
Homework is due in two weeks. (OOC: November 21 at 11:59 p.m. est)
The seed you have received in class will grow into a healthy adult tree if you give it the right care and concern. For homework, each week for five weeks, I would like a picture of the seed's profession. Hand drawn, preferably. Yes, this first week counts. By the fifth week, it most certainly will not be a full grown tree, but it will be more than a seedling, obviously.
OOC: Five pictures, one from each week. You can draw them by hand, draw them digitally on the computer, whatever, as long as it is YOUR OWN WORK. These Gravity Resistant Trees are based off of aerial root trees, so if you want to take a look at those, yes! <3 SORRY THIS IS SO LATE AND I AM A POOPY. >.<
⚘ Extra Credit ⚘
Worth: 5 points
This is silly. Write me a story, at least ten sentences long, about Gravity Resistant Trees! Be creative! Make a character, PERSONIFY THE TREE! I don't care! I want to laugh, I want to cry, I WANT TO FEEL.
OOC: I think Paul says it all^^ Lol.
This is due December 1st, 6AM GMT (so...my TZ, December 1st 12AM CST)
Students MAY challenge dueling Professors (Cosgrach, Moxely, MacLeod or Dakest), however these duels do NOT count towards Tournament standings and are purely for FUN/challenge.

Please PM/VM Tazenhani if you would like to duel a Professor.
For those who want to watch, stands have been set up along the Tournament Hall. Don't worry Duelers, you won't be able to hear or see your fellow classmates, so there is no worry of a distraction.

Also, if for some reason you cannot complete or start your duel, please let both me and your partner know. We will work something out.
Note that students MAY challenge professors to a duel, for this 'final round'. However, such Challenges do NOT contribute to your standing in the tournament. They are for fun/challenge only. Please do NOT let them take precedent over student duels. If you wish to duel a Professor, please PM Tazenhani
Also, if you participated in the DADA Class #2 and the homing spell, you may now use that in your duel
If you have questions, please ask.
