NECR 201: Double Bones
Course Information
Professor: Doctor Skelebone
Seminar Time: Tuesdays 1-4
Classroom: PSOP 9670
Office hours: By appointment only
Prerequisites: NECR 150 Skeleton Analysis (Students may substitute NECR 175 Tomb Studies with advisor approval).
Course Description
In this course, student necromancers will learn to double bones. In the natural world, doubling of any sort requires the addition of matter to an object or the application of living energy; necromancy enables the necromancer to double by drawing exclusively on thanergy. Course activities will equip students to perform the doubling of bones through foundational theoretical study as well as enumeration and performance rehearsal.
Course Procedures
Double Bones will meet once weekly for seminar, which will consist primarily of lecture and demonstration. Students are expected to prepare for discussion by completing the assigned reading on their own in advance of each seminar meeting. Students are also expected to prepare for examinations through regular practice doubling bones on their own.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement
Although diversity, equity, and inclusion have recently become matters of highly politicized debate, as an instructor I welcome students of all Houses and backgrounds and work toward pedagogical fairness in my instructional practices. In my considerable experience, necromancers of all specializations benefit when their different perspectives are valued in classroom discussions, when the field of debate is fair and level, and when students from underrepresented Houses are integrated rather than sidelined.
