"It's not going to be as hard as it seems," Samantha smiled. "There are some subjects, such as Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, where the exercise has to be done on paper, just by the nature of the subject. With Arithmancy the name and birth information could be provided for some person and then calculations could be done based on that information. With Ancient Runes, I would suggest translating a sentence into English that is written in Runes, and then taking a regular sentence in English and writing it out in Runes. Those are actually kind of practical exercises in a way, but I think we see the difference. Astronomy, Charms, Potions, DADA, Transfiguration, Flying are all practical subjects, whereas Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, and History of Magic are probably written. What about subjects like Divination, Muggle Studies, Herbology and COMC, though? Should those subjects be practical or written?" Samantha was feeling really excited about this project now!
