Classwork 101: How to Succeed in Muggle Studies
Struggling in a particular class? Don't want to ask your classmates for help and risk looking like an idiot? Don't want to ask your teachers for help for fear of looking worse? Fear no more! This is the sixth installment of The Parselmouth's 'How to Succeed in' series - a group of articles helping you to achieve that O grade in each and every one of your classes. Today we're looking at Muggle Studies. Ew. TACKLING LESSONS 1. Muggles are gross. Why would you even want to turn up? Don't turn up. 2. If you do turn up, try not to take anything Professor Gawkrodger says too seriously. Although it might be nice to think of muggles as pointed stick-wielding savages, they just aren't. We're the superior species here. TACKLING HOMEWORK 1. Throw yourself wholeheartedly into every task. If Professor Gawkrodger asks you to stab someone with a pencil, go for it! Those Hufflepuffs could use a lesson or two. 2. Your essays won't require much thought. Like Divination - the wackier it is, the higher your mark will be. TACKLING THE PROFESSOR 1. Take everything he says with a pinch of salt. 2. I've heard he likes to be bribed with 'adult' beverages. 3. Don't try and contact him on any muggle devices. We've all heard of an older student who tried to do that once; I don't think it ended very well for her... Follow these simple tips and you, like me, will pass Muggle Studies with flying colours! written by Eden Beattie
