Welcome to Alchemy 501!

To round out our curriculum as you are all preparing for your owls, our focus this year is to see how alchemy has been used in the healing arts.

I have a question about the lesson or assignment. What do I do?
Feel free to send any of our PAs an owl! My team and I are always happy to answer any questions you may have. The list of PAs can be found on the right side of the screen. Remember to keep your inquiries respectful and that it is always better to ask any questions you may have before you submit your assignment.

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 me, 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 me, Professor Rosenquist, or Elizabeth Schulte to look into it.


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

Have you ever aspired to be a healer? Alchemy is and has been a tremendous influence on medicinal practices throughout the ages. We will be looking at topics such as the universal cure, herbal medicines, spiritual healing, psychological and therapeutic effects, and maybe we’ll get our hands dirty with a bit of laboratory work. Time to mix up some tinctures, tonics, and elixirs!
