After some recent discussion around the site, I though it would be good idea to get a thread up where people could say whether there are any courses they might be interested/willing/blackmailed into running for/taking at the Academy.

So, things to discuss/state on this thread:
 - What subjects do you know about that might lend itself to being taught in the Academy?
 - Would you like to run a course on it? [OF COURSE YOU WOULD!]
 - How much time do you think you might have for putting into this course? And when might this be?
 - Which of the courses suggested would you be interested in taking?
 - Which of the courses not yet suggested would you be interested in taking? :D

Also, if you know someone else on this site is good at something but they might not think of it, do suggest too.. Either here, or possibly to them separately so they don't feel pressured to volunteer.

[Of course, Jubal has already made a thread like this, but since I'm practically stealing his job by writing this, who cares! Write on this thread, write on the other.. doesn't matter all the much to me :)]

I shall make a list!

I would like to run a course, but I have no ideas :/ But I would happily enrol in almost any course possible

For example:

I could conceivably do courses on:
 - Cloak making/other assorted sewing
 - Some maths and stuff (just finished first year Natural Sciences maths)
 - Some first year geology
 - Ceilidh dancing/calling

I would be willing to do this.

I can put in a fair amount of time over the summer, less time when I'm at university but can probably still manage (Procrastination!).

I would be interested in taking some of the courses both suggested and not suggested :)

I think the trick generally will be to produce plenty of information and ensure that you'll be able to give people feedback in a fairly succinct and not that time consumptive way.  :) I do think that feedback and teaching is quite necessary though, that's the main thing that makes this more than "a bunch of crap someone wrote on the internet."

I'll probably focus on World Building for the reboot; it was more popular and less time consuming and more fun.

I'll use my 2000th post to say that I'll be willing to run a course on programming in C++, in around about September, with details to be finalised later :) .

Adding you in.. :)

Maybe you should post about that in a special place so you can get some triumph points for it :P

Interested in C++ and maths and stuff courses.
Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

Ceilidhing, baking, C++, and geology would all be of interest to me.

And so would all the rest tbh.  :P

Sewing would really interest me... because... (secret o'clock)

I love the Disney movie 'Tangled' and I want to try making a replica of Rapunzel's dress (maybe) :P
