Did You Even Read the Syllabus?

It's time for all the little padawans to head back to school and your character has been forced invited to teach a class this semester on the subject of their choosing. But first you need to get your syllabus approved by the Praxeum's senior staff.

Create a syllabus showing at least three items, though you may include as many as you like. "Items" can be either a lecture title/topic or an assignment for the students. You must also include a brief course description and/or objectives. You may use any of your characters, but please specify if the syllabus goes with someone other than your primary character.

You can find examples and a more thorough description of a syllabus here.

Placement will be determined base on how well the syllabus fits your character, how well it fits into the Star Wars/DB universe, humor, and presentation.
