started this in the tags but it got too long so post time it is !!

my BELOVED science teacher is like this, he runs the class like a DnD game and makes it fun !!! When you’re a freshman he puts on characters every other week to teach you about the newest unit, he does voices, it’s SO cool, and you get to make your own characters, get xp, gold, items, etc etc etc

(hiding the rest behind a keep reading because it turns into personal anecdotes and it’s long)

(He’s still doing that no matter what grade you’re in but i don’t know if some freshmen got to him or something but he doesn’t do characters anymore :( still does silly voices and accents whenever he wants to emphasize something though !! Also unrelated he can do a perfect squirrel impression he’s so cool)

However what he also has, aside from mob battles, is guilds. We have like 5 in our class i think ?? The only names I remember are “Five recently released guys” “gyatt” (showing my age) and “the final braincell” which is the one i’m part of :3

and sometimes, he has events in which the losing guild has to give up a member to the winning guild, which has caused two (2) guilds to disband due to a lack of people

and at the end of a unit, we have two options, do a packet, or do a thing called dungeon delving

And my completely definitely 100 percent neurotypical group always chooses dungeon delving . Because. Of course we do. and we ALWAYS go for the highest level whenever we can, because hubris demands it. My Greek mythology friend even named her character Hero because of it (I forgot what i named mine but it was very silly) and because i have a better weapon than her, i would always charge right into the orcs and goblins ahead of her, leading her way and encouraging her hubris while the rest of the guild would be smart and stay back. I will always remember one game where literally everyone took damage except for me and it was wonderful

the way this actually pertains to actually reviewing and learning things is that we always have to answer questions to get action points :) we can give each other action points if we want to, so one day, seeing as i had the best weapon, i had an amazing thought. Every 3 APs would give me two rolls of d6 damage (1 AP was 1 roll and 3(?) movement, 2 was 6 movement), so you know what that means. Everyone pools their APs to me, giving me 9 AP it was gonna be amazing, six rolls of d6, and then suddenly my teacher goes ‘what’re you guys doing here why are you rolling so much‘ and i laid out my brilliant plan, already knowing something was wrong with it a you could tell because i was laughing like an idiot and then he tells us we can’t roll damage more than twice :(

don’t worry we pulled through that and i now have a health potion for it and someone else also has a weapon of my level so we don’t have to rely on me to do all the damage :D

Also he uses emoticons like ^_^ and peace and love on planet earth i wish i could post the document where he keeps his rules because he has a list of past guilds and one of them is just The Communism Guild and it’s . Amazing. shrek gives you advice on how to dungeon delve. He has an mspaint style genie version of him on there somewhere. Terraria Taxman is leading the Capitalist guild. dr pepper also gives advice on dungeon delving.

my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more pionts in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!

the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.

and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!

hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!
