xxxxAbout the Professor:
Professor Jasper Ichabod Marcs-Conroy (only goes by Professor Marcs), was born to a pureblood witch and wizard. His father came from a banking family full of loan sharks and his mother came from a family of seers and prophets. He of course soon became the failure of his parents as he turned out to be a squib. His Grandmother Marcs a seer from him mother's side took pity on him and adopted him from his parents.

Grandmother Marcs was adamant that Jasper learned the arts of prediction to his limitations as a squib and receive a reputable muggle education. As Jasper began his education in Mathematics of Random Systems he took two Adult Education Courses during his summer. He easily scored an O in Arithmancy which he felt was little different than the predictions muggles make using statistics, and an E in Ancient Runes which he found a bit more difficult for his mathematically inclined mind.

In 2048, Jasper completed his DPhil Mathematics of Random Systems CDT and with his choice of Universities he chose to began a professorship at the University of Sydney. His time was quite successful for ten years where he was beloved by his students, noted for his research, and soon to be selected for tenure before a conflict with a fellow professor regarding the quality of the other professor's work ended with Jasper being requested to leave the university to hide any controversy.

Until Jasper started with Hogwarts, he worked as an arithmancer working from his apartment in London.

_____________________________________

The Arithmancy classroom is one of the smaller classrooms in Hogwarts as the subject does not require much space for instruction and the class sizes tend to be smaller. In the front of the classroom is a large chalkboard with a small desk and rolling desk chair. The words "No Wands Out in this Classroom" are etched in the board with chalk for so long that only a scrugify charm could remove the words. In the back of the classroom is a book shelf with several books of reference for the subject that students are allowed to come into the classroom when class in not in session to use for homework if they so wish. If a student wishes to check out a book they are expected to check out the book using a ledger book on top of the book shelf.

Jasper found the curriculum for Arithmancy V interesting. In his opinion the course was a bit heavy in the front of the Arithmancy journey for Hogwarts students. Perhaps it was planned to hook the students on the course as learning just history could be a bit dull. Waiting for the students was a single note that he had no intention in erasing: "No Wands Out in this Classroom". A list of Subjects to review for the NEWTs was already at each students' seat:


Chalkboard
OWL subjects mastered
1. Origination of Arithmancy
2. The 2 Systems of Arithmancy
3. The Agrippan Method
4. Number Usage
5. The Character Number
6. The Heart Number
7. The Social Number
8. Making Predictions
9. Arithmancy and Your Name
10. Arithmancy and Items
11. Using Numbers for Predictions

Newt Topics (from Arithmancy IV)
1. Compatibility using Arithmancy



Jasper gave a half smile to his students as he had decided to allow his seventh year Arithmancy students use their class time as a research hour. "Good morning, I am your new professor, Professor Marcs, though I doubt we will see each other often. I want to congratulate each of you for getting this far in what is often seen as a difficult subject. You have learnt the basics of this subject and once certified with your NEWT could go on to be an arithmancer. However, if you immediately stepped into the field now you will find far better arithmancers than you."

"I will not waste any of your time with formal review. What one person struggles with will be different than someone else. Instead I want to trust you as the adults most of you are and allow you to treat this period as a research period. I will be here during class time and my office hours where I will be happy to go over any subject you wish."

"Do not make me regret trusting you in your freedom. In front of you is information on the key subjects you should have reviewed. Use that as a guide. My office hours are on the back of the sheet. You lot are dismissed. I look forward to working with you as you further explore the subject on your own."
