History of Magic Lesson 1 Year 1: Introduction to HoM

Professor Jenkins sits on her desk, with a quill in her hand and a piece of paper. She waits for the first years to arrive, patiently preparing a lesson overview plan for today. They enter the classroom, at last. "Welcome! My name is Professor Serafina Jenkins, also known as the Hufflepuff Head of House."

Foreword

I am very enthusiastic to start educating all of you. If you don't discern a portion of the lesson, please contact me so I can explain to you more about it, or contact my Prefects here.

History of Magic is not necessarily a complicated subject unless you follow the proper rules bestowed by me.

Let us focus on the rules and formalities of the class now.

Then, as your other professors do, I shall introduce you to the rules of the class. You are supposed to bring your quills, enough parchments and you're then okay. Here are some rules and expectations for this class. You may not copy-paste in assignments, or search them up while you attempt the assignment, however, you can check out your notes.

Speaking of notes, note-taking is highly recommended for all your H.I.M classes, as they help you advance more into the subject, but are optional. You need not show the notes, they're all for you to study. You need to be respectful too and try your best in classes.

There will be midterms and finals in Lessons 5 and 9 respectively. All assignments per lesson consist of a quiz or/and an essay. If English is not your native language, feel free to use NES on the top of your essays. All assignments must be submitted in English only as if you submit it in any other language, it will be graded "0" or incorrect for the question. Feel free to use Google Translate or any other reliable mode of translation.

If you do have any questions about the History of Magicology or any course material, feel free to reach out to my Prefects or me, before you submit the assignment.

Appeals are of course accepted. You may only appeal your grade if your grade for the assignment is less than an E(80%)

Retakes are also available, only if your assignment is less than an E(80%)

While there are no prerequisites for the class, I highly recommend you take Mythology, Ancient Studies, and Ancient Runes along with History of Magic, as they are relevant topics that help you gain additional insights about History too.

If you do not speak English regularly, or if you have a learning or physical disability, then use NES or LPD symbol(s) in the additional notes or comments section.

History & Magic - Relationship

We will update & write the book of History of Magic in the H.I.M LIbrary very soon, and you will find it in the Library.

Well, don't deal with it like it is compelled for this course, as it is not. It is just for extra reading and to learn more about History.

History. What is History? History is the study of the past with substantial records proving that it certainly occurred.

Yes, I see, some of the students don't like History, as they think History might be fatiguing, as the professor who instructed this course before me, Professor Binns made this course very tedious, but fuss not, I will make it fun and exciting. History is not all about remembering dates(you might have to remember some) but is mainly about learning about spots and people.

Now, I will clarify how History is important. Every moment, every second, we live in History, and we learn about it. A second is not passed without us living in History.

Many important restrictions and regulations would never be known to us, histories of the past would never be known to us.

Closing

Thus, ending the class with a quiz and an essay. Good day!
