Note to all students: If you are not a Prefect, Headstudent, Professor, or Administrator, please do not post answers to questions in the Ask a Prefect sub-forum. This will eliminate confusion as to correct or incorrect answers and saves time. There will be a one week adjustment period for this rule to take effect (although students are asked to please stop posting as soon as possible). After this one week period, if a student posts an answer on a thread in Ask a Prefect, he/she will lose 5 points and the post will be immediately deleted.
Discussion times for the spring 2003 term of Prof. Dragonfly's Symbolism in Muggle and Magic Literature class are as follows (at least for the first few weeks):
Mondays, 9 a.m. ET, starting 27 January
Thursdays, 9 p.m. ET, starting 30 January

The first introductory lesson has been posted for Prof. Lasgalen's History of Middle Earth class. (A note from the Professor: "This is not a true lesson, because the 'true' lessons will be much longer and will have homework assignments with them. This intro is short and has no assignment. [However], I highly advise you to read it, and be familiar with it. In future lessons I'll refer back to certain aspects of the intro, so it is expected that you know it.") In addition, students who have not yet confirmed their membership in the class by joining the MSN Group are asked to do so as soon as possible.
