How to Judge the Effectiveness of Lesson Preparation?
Compared to other magical subjects, Arithmancy Class are much more boring;
At least on the surface, this subject doesn't require much magic; in fact, it takes more time to write.
Unlike Transfiguration or Potions, it doesn't allow you to directly perceive changes, such as Transfiguration objects yourself or brewing highly effective Potions.
Students need to use paper and pen to convert various information into numbers, and then use various number tables from "Numerology and Graphics" to complete the Arithmancy process.
This process involves mathematics and calculations, and after two years of study at Hogwarts, most students are no longer proficient in these subjects.
Regaining mathematical and computational skills is undoubtedly a tedious process.
Septima Vector had a pretty good feeling about her first class of the new semester.
The students were more cooperative than expected. Faced with the tedious process of calculation, no one showed any impatience and they all diligently completed the tasks she assigned.
Hermione Granger left the deepest impression on her;
Hermione was faster than the other students in both converting and calculating numbers.
If she wasn't mistaken, Hermione had at least read through "Numerology and Graphics" once, otherwise she wouldn't be so proficient and able to find the corresponding content so accurately.
Vizet Lovegood, on the other hand, although she recognized the "Kabbalah Tree of Life" at first glance, her subsequent behavior was similar to Hermione's.
During meals, the professors would also chat with each other;
Septima Vector has heard discussions about Vizet Lovegood more than once at the dinner table;
Both Filius Flitwick and professors of other subjects spoke highly of Vizet Lovegood.
Even Snape let slip, casually saying, "If it were Wizet, I wouldn't need to repeat myself. What's wrong with losing a few points?"
In addition, Filius Flitwick and other professors would also mention Vizet Lovegood when exchanging their lesson preparation experiences;
In their view, if Wizet is involved in a class, there is a set of standards for judging the effectiveness of lesson preparation;
If Wizette comes to ask questions Wizet class, it means the lesson preparation was effective and sparked Wizet's thinking. Otherwise, the professors will review it again and optimize some of the knowledge points.
Is the lesson not engaging enough?
Therefore, it failed to stimulate Wizet's thinking?
Is that why he didn't have any particularly outstanding performances?
Septima Vector frowned slightly and continued to patrol the classroom;
Once a student raises a question, she will answer it immediately to help the students complete their homework, and gradually forget about the few questions that arose earlier.
It is precisely because not many students choose to take Arithmancy that it would be difficult to provide such detailed tutoring during the remaining class time.
When the bell rang, the students filed out of the classroom and headed to the classroom for the next class.
Michael Corner picked up "Numerology and Graphics" and said, "Wizet, I'm going to the Charms Classroom to reserve a seat."
"Okay!" Wizet, still writing something with his head down.
Michael stepped forward and handed two parchments to Septima Vector.
During her previous rounds of inspections, she had already seen most of the students' assignments;
Only Michael and Wizet remained unchecked, as neither of them raised any questions, and she was answering other students' questions.
Michael and Wizet didn't ask any questions, and she was busy answering other students' questions, so she didn't pay attention to Michael and Wizet.
Michael's assignment was very well written; he incorporated all the key points from class without being asked questions.
If I had to point out some flaws, it would be that the order of some knowledge points is incorrect, and they seem to have been added later.
If Septima Vector is not mistaken, Michael must have had Wizet check his assignment before submitting it, adding the relevant knowledge points, which is why there were some errors in the order.
Wizet's assignments are very easy to read; both the organization of knowledge points and the choice of words are written like a rigorous academic paper.
This is quite normal, after all, in the last academic year, Wizet had already written a paper that won the "Most Promising Newcomer Award" from Transfiguration Today.
During the meal, Professor McGonagall mentioned this to the other professors, saying that revising Wizet's paper was probably the easiest thing she had encountered in recent years.
Thinking about this, Septima Vector had a question...
Now that the assignments and papers are finished, what is Wizet still busy with?
Just as she stepped forward to speak, Wizet put down her pen, let out a long breath, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Wizet noticed Septima Vector's arrival, stood up with the parchment in hand, and said, "Professor Vector, I'm sorry to take up your time... Could you please take a look at this for me?"
"I tried to combine the ' Kabbalah Tree of Life ' and ' Name Numerology ' to reinterpret the ' Wand-Lighting Charm ' from the perspective of ' Arithmancy '."
"' Name Numerology ' and ' Kabbalah Tree of Life '..." Septima Vector was somewhat surprised, "This is already quite far in the content..."
The conversation during the meal made her think of a possibility, "Mr. Lovegood, are you trying to understand ' Name Numerology ' and ' Kabbalah Tree of Life ' based on Ritual Magic?"
"Yes!" Wizet nodded slightly. "I happened to have learned a little bit of Ritual Magic, so I tried to 'apply it by analogy'..."
"I only try to preview the later content after I've finished my assignments and papers. But I found it very interesting, so I just followed along with the analysis."
"Of course, I've read your paper, it's excellent!" Septima Vector nodded upon hearing Wizet's sincere explanation. "Let me take a look!"
"If you want to become Curse-Breaker, mastering ' Arithmancy ' is essential. It can indeed break some spells through the magic of numbers..."
"The Wand-Lighting Charm... Excellent topic! It's a very simple spell, so it's unlikely to make mistakes in the analysis..."
"That's the right approach... People might use different names for magic due to certain habits, but the incantations used to cast spells are usually quite fixed..."
She squinted slightly, examining and analyzing the process on the parchment more carefully, "L and U correspond to 3...M corresponds to 4...O corresponds to 6...S corresponds to 1..."
"Combine them, then simplify and reconstruct... finally arriving at the number 8... then, following the instructions in the book, analyze it from the ' Kabbalah Tree of Life '..."
"The 'essence' associated with 8 is 'glory', very perceptive... Did you extend the basic characteristic of 'glory' based on Ritual Magic, and then associate it with the characteristic of 'radiance'?"
