IC Prospective: Ancient Runes Teacher

[gnee]

Character: Hanna Cross
Mun: Bri
Plot specific: No

So about your ancient runes homework. If you can bring me the definitions of Ehwaz and Eihwaz, then you get five extra points on our upcoming runes test. If you need extra help my office hours are totally flexible.

I realize that, yes. They most definitely aren't easy. But I would expect first years to be able to figure this out easily. Otherwise I would be rather disappointed. But I suppose if you're just trying to be generous because the end of the year is approaching, there's no harm in that. A soft approach, but nothing inherently bad.

Of course I'm trying to give them a little help in the end. They have to do a number of things for the final. So an easy last test with the possibility of extra credit could be you know, somethin' like a present!

[He's kind of new at the teaching thing though.] I don't think I did too shabby for my first year actually teaching this class.

[extraneus]

I see. Well, your methods are your own. It would be rude of me to question you, would it not?

How have you enjoyed your first year of teaching so far, then? I hope it's met all of your expectations. I find it's worth it if you have the right students.

[gnee]

Er, I mean. I'm used to being questioned on stuff so?

[Funny you say methods. Hanna has none. He has absolutely no teaching skill at all and doesn't know why anyone picked him to be a teacher.

Maybe it was just his skill in runes?]

It's been fun. I had a good class to start with. I'm glad it was third years rather than first years. This class is way over a first year's understanding. I'm sure my methods are a bit haphazard, but for me and the students it has been fun!

[extraneus]

I disagree with the statement that it's over a first year's understanding. You're insulting their intelligence by saying as much, don't you think?

[gnee]

Not that I'm trying to insult their intelligence. There are just a lot of things you need to understand before going into a runes class. I even warn them of this when they entered my class.
