So I’ve got a few online courses this semester, right? Well, sometimes reading class Syllabi during the first week of school can be dreadfully dull…so I’ve invented this new game where I pretend I’m attending Hogwarts school online:
To make things even more interesting, I've started to replace all the boring words in the Syllabus with “wizardy” words, so the reading will go by much faster.

| (the following text has been altered from my American Government Syllabus): |
“Welcome to WIZISCI 101! If you have never taken a wizarding class before, you are in for a new and magical experience. This course uses some of the most advanced educational spells ever created. These spells will help you learn in an effective and efficient way, often allowing you to learn more than you would in a face-to-face muggle class...and in less time!”
“Although some of the learning activities will require you to work on your own, you will also be engaged in discussions with other wizarding students, as well as your selected Hogwarts professor. Through your group interactions, you will have many opportunities to teach one another, share spells, and solve magical problems together.”
“This course has been designed to help you slowly build up a knowledge base of jinxes and counter-curses. Not all of these counter-curses will come easily. It takes a lot of work and practice before some things will even start to work, so you should not be surprised to find that it may take you a little time to cast your first spell. Just be patient, and as you approach the end of the course, the spells will start to come together, and you will see how much progress you have really made! You will understand what wizardry is all about, and you will be glad you persisted in your efforts to learn!"
...but seriously I should probably get on this homework.
