Welcome to Alchemy 401!

This year, I, Professor Rosenquist, will be taking you all on a bit of a spiritual journey into hermeticism. We will be looking at the same concepts we have been discussing the previous two years and studying what they mean in the context of spiritual alchemy.

Can I use any date for the Transmutation Logs?
Yes and no. There is a provided calendar in the assignment prompts. You can pick any of the dates for a particular transitional listed in that calendar, however, you will need to stick to that transitional period for every log. For example, if you pick Jupiter to Mercury, your log needs to be dated with specific dates from a Jupiter to Mercury period of your choice on the calendar.

What do I do if I believe my assignment was graded in error?
If you believe there was a mistake made in the grading of your assignment, or you have a question about your assignment after getting your grades back, you may reach out to either Professor Rosenquist or the Head Student, Elizabeth Schulte, with your grade ID.

When will my assignment be graded?
Elective courses do get less volume of assignments than core courses, and this equates in a smaller PA team. Our team is comprised of volunteers who also have real-world obligations that do take priority over HiH. Assignments are anonymous and we prioritize them in the order that they are submitted. If your assignment has not moved places in the queue at all after a couple of weeks, you may owl Professor Rosenquist or Elizabeth Schulte to look into it.


Join us over at the Discordian Castle and the Alchemy classroom there!
