Requirement:  having completed Main Quest: In the Shadows of the Estate , Level 16 Reward:  150 XP, Wingardium Leviosa, Tools Collection: Venomous Tentacula and Mandrake Quest Info:  As per Professor Garlick’s instructions, I successfully field tested a Venomous Tentacle and Mandrake in combat.

Objectives:

Acquire and Use a Venomous Tenatacula

• Acquire and Use a Mandrake on Multiple Enemies Simultaneously

Attend Herbology Class During the Day

Return to professor garlick, starting location: professor garlick’s assignment 1.

In order to proceed with the next main quest, we first need to learn Wingardium Leviosa from Professor Garlick.

Acquire and Use a Mandrake on Multiple Enemies Simultaneously

Now warp to the Greenhouses floo flame at Hogwarts Castle and enter the greenhouse to start the lesson.

Return to Professor Garlick to start learning Wingardium Leviosa, the Levitation Charm. As usual, steady your wand with the left stuck and guide it along the symbol’s path to learn the spell. Don’t let go of the left stick and remember to press the corresponding button to gain speed and lose the red spark. Wingardium Leviosa is used to levitate and move objects. Control its position with your movement, and use the D-pad to fine-tune its distance and rotation.

Hogwarts Legacy Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1

For the quest “Professor Garlick’s Assignment I” from Hogwarts Legacy you should obtain and test a Venomous Tentacula and Mandrake.

In this guide, you will learn how to find these two combat tools and how to complete the quest. As a reward, you will receive the Wingardium Leviosa spell.

📂 Hogwarts Legacy Wiki

📅 Last updated on February 14, 2023 .

Quest Objectives

Obtain and test a venomous tentacula, how to use venomous tentacula, acquire and test a mandrake against multiple enemies at once, attend herbalism classes during the day, return to professor garlick.

These are the quest objectives for Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1:

• Obtain and test a Venomous Tentacula.
• Acquire and test a Mandrake against multiple enemies at once.
• Attend herbalism classes during the day.
• Return to Professor Garlick.

The first step is to get a Venomous Tentacula . The easiest way is to buy the plant from a vendor . Travel to Hogsmeade and find the Dogweed & Deathcap shop north of town.

Beatrice Green, the proprietor of Dogweed & Deathcap, sells various battle tools that include Venomous Tentacula and Mandrake . Visit their store and buy each:

• 1x Venomous Tentacula (600 galleons)
• 1x Mandrake (500 galleons)

The two combat tools will cost you a total of 1,100 galleons.

If you haven’t done the quest Professor Sharp’s Assignment 1 yet, here’s a brief explanation of how to use potions and battle tools (like the Venomous Tentacula):

To use a potion or combat tool, long press the key that allows you to select your potions (e.g. Tab on PC, L1, or LB). Now select the desired item and release the button to equip the potion or battle tool. Then tap the same key (e.g. Tab on PC, L1, or LB) once briefly to use the item.

So to complete the first step of the quest “Professor Garlick’s Task 1” you buy, equip, and use a Venomous Tentacula. You can do this directly in Madame Green’s shop.

Equip the Mandrake. Then look for at least 2 opponents and wait until they are relatively close to you. If you now use the Mandrake (with e.g. Tab, L1, or LB), it will roar and you will also complete the quest step “Acquire and test a Mandrake against multiple enemies at once”.

Now travel back to Hogwarts. The library extension is a good travel destination. It is best to travel directly to the greenhouses. Classes will not start if it is nighttime.

💡 How to skip time in Hogwarts Legacy?

If you have a Hogwarts Legacy quest that can only be completed at a certain time of day, you can make the time pass faster. To do this, open the map and press the hotkey for “Wait”. On the PC it is the hotkey “F”, with a controller e.g. the right thumbstick / analog stick.

Skipping times of day by waiting is useful for several quests, including Ghost of our Love .

Now return to Professor Garlick to complete the quest “Professor Garlick’s Quest 1”. As a reward, you can now learn the Wingardium Leviosa spell . With Wingardium Leviosa you can lift objects and put them down in specific places. You can practice this with the chests that are in the greenhouse. If you move the chest under the stairs, you will find a potion underneath as a small reward.

• Quest Type: Mandatory Class Assignment
• Location: Anywhere
• Completed In the Shadow of the Undercroft
• Completed The Room of Requirement

Acquire and Use a Mandrake on Multiple Enemies Simultaneously

The hardest part of this quest is finding where you can buy the supplies. If you haven’t explored Hogsmeade thoroughly, then you might not know where Dogweed and Deathcap is located . It’s the building the farthest north on the Hogsmeade map. Thankfully, you’ll only have to make two purchases here for both of the assignments, but they are fairly expensive.

Here’s what you’ll be needing to buy for the quest:

• Mandrake (1)-500 galleons
• Venomous Tentacula (1)-600 galleons

If you’re like me, and you showed up without much gold, there is a disillusionment chest in the shop that will give you 500 galleons. You might also evaluate if you want to buy the seeds instead. If you’re going for a build that focuses on herbology, then you’ll want to keep your items stocked. Planting your own seeds and harvesting them instead of buying items will be more economical in the long term. Keep in mind though that you will still need to purchase a large potting table spellcraft at Tomes and Scrolls in order to plant Venomous Tentacula Seeds.

Here’s the price of those seeds:

• Mandrake Seeds-800 galleons
• Venomous Tentacula Seeds-1050 galleons

Acquire and Use Venomous Tentacula (and Mandrake)

You remembered to buy Venomous Tentacula at the store, right? Good. Now it’s as simple as finding a couple of enemies and unleashing your lethal plants on them. You can go anywhere for this; we went to San Bakar’s Tower and found a trio of goblins to dispatch.

Hogwarts Legacy Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1 Guide

by enricofairme · Published February 9, 2023 12:19 AM · Updated October 3, 2023 12:19 PM

Hogwarts Legacy Professor Garlick’s Assignment 1 is a special request you receive in game. To complete this request you need to use a couple of plants in battle. These plants are the Venomous Tentacula and a Mandrake. To help you find these plants and complete the assignment use our guide below.

Acquire and Use a Venomous Tentacula

The first object for this assignment is to acquire and use Venomous Tentacula . This plant is kind of hard to find if you don’t know where to look for it. Thankfully if you have access to either the Greenhouse or Hogsmeade you have a couple of sources of acquiring the plant item needed to complete this step.

If you are just looking to snag a full grown plant and move on, the easiest place to look is in the Greenhouses on the Hogwarts’ school ground . Enter the southwest Greenhouse and you will find a number of Venomous Tentacula growing there. Pick what you need from the plants.

The second option is a more permanent solution. If you want to grow your own Venomous Tentacula plants then you need to acquire some seeds. To do this make your way to the Dogweed & Deathcap shop in north Hogsmeade . Here you can purchase the seeds for 1,050 Galleons or the fully grown Venomous Tentacula for 600 Galleons.

Once you’ve acquired a Venomous Tentacula from either of the sources above. The next step is to use it battle. Simply head to a location that has enemies and throw out a Venomous Tentacula to aid you. While the plant is active it will shoot acid at your enemies.

Acquire and Use Mandrake on Multiple Enemies Simultaneously

The second plant you need to acquire is Mandrake . The easiest method to get Mandrake is to purchase either seeds or a plant from the Dogweed & Deathcap shop in north Hogsmeade . It costs 500 per plant. You can also buy Mandrake Seeds from her as well for 800. There is an Eye Ball chest in the shop you can open if you need quick cash to buy yourself either.

It is possible to find Mandrake out in the wild. Try looking in places like the Forbidden Forest for it to spawn in. Use your Revelio spell to highlight plants in the area and look out for them.

Once you’ve acquired a Mandrake from either of the sources above. The next step is to use it battle. Simply head to a location that has multiple enemies and trigger a Mandrake during the fight. While the plant is active it will scream loudly and stun multiple enemies.

Attend Herobolgy During the Day

Upon completion of both of the objectives listed above you will need to return to the Greenhouse and attend class. After the class speak to Professor Garlick. She will congratulate you on completing the assignment and will teach you how to cast the Wingardium Leviosa spell. You also unlock Hogwarts Legacy Professor Garlick’s Assignment 2 .

Adjunct professor fired by DePaul after optional assignment about Gaza

CHICAGO (CBS) -- An adjunct professor was fired from her role at DePaul University, after offering an optional assignment to her students in which she asked them to explore the biological and health impacts Israel's war in Gaza has on Palestinians. 

Dr. Anne D'Aquino taught Health 194, Human Pathogens and Defense, across from the now torn-down pro-Palestinian protest encampment on the quad.

"Students were distracted," D'Aquino said. "A lot of them were volunteering at the encampment. A lot of them had friends that were at the encampment." It was a topic that was overall unavoidable, she said. 

Biochemist and professor Dr. D'Aquino was hired on April 1 to teach Health 194. She said this course, in particular, felt like it would allow her to discuss the intersections of humanities and biology. 

According to the syllabus, the course in part explores microbiology research and its relevance to everyday life, current events, as well as microbiology knowledge to "big picture impacts on individuals and communities."

"Taking real-world examples and applying our biology to it, and then communicating that to the general public—since many of the students will be doing that in their profession," D'Aquino said.

D'Aquino said she was terminated for asking students to do just that—offering an optional alternative to the previously-assigned topic of avian flu, and instead focusing on the effects of the war in Gaza.

"The day that I added the optional assignment, there was a large attack on Rafah, and I didn't want that to be left unacknowledged," she said. The optional assignment asked for scientific analysis and critical thinking to understand "the impacts of genocide on human biology."

Optional Assignment by Alex Ortiz on Scribd

On May 7, one day after presenting the optional assignment, she said she received a phone call from the Chair of Health Sciences, Dr. Sarah Connolly, who claimed that DePaul had received student complaints about feeling unsafe in the class and said that it was outside of the "realm of microbiology."  

D'Aquino said that Dr. Connolly noted that "for what it's worth," she had "really good content" on D2L or the online portal where students can access their class content.   

D'Aquino also said her department questioned her word choice—specifically the reference to "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing." CBS 2 asked her why she chose the words she did.

"Because those are the accurate terms," she said, "A lot of rights groups—including the  UN rights group —have demonstrated that there is reasonable evidence to accurately describe this as a genocide."

D'Aquino was referring to a report from the UN Human Rights Council in March, which found "reasonable grounds" that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.

"We've heard time and time again from scientists that what's happening in Gaza, and Palestine more broadly, is a public health issue," D'Aquino said. "There isn't clean water. The infrastructure for sewage and sanitation is torn down—it's destroyed. Hospitals are destroyed. Infection is running rampant."

D'Aquino has filed an appeal and believes that the termination violated her academic freedom. In the appeal, she cites eight sources to back up her claim that the assignment was related to her course, including data from the World Health Organization and a publication in the Journal of Medicine, Surgery and Public Health.

Collapsed medical and sanitation infrastructure, severe overcrowding in shelters or encampments, and malnutrition in Gaza are the "perfect storm" for infectious disease outbreaks, according to a study published in PLOS Global Public Health journal, which D'Aquino sourced in her appeal.

"There are long-term consequences of conflict due to the disruption of routine vaccination programs as well as disease surveillance and response systems. Historically, this has manifested as a resurgence in preventable outbreaks," the study said, which also looked to war in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

In these conditions, there is "no way to mask or separate themselves from each other," D'Aquino said. 

According to the Lancet, another peer-reviewed journal cited in the appeal, the war in Gaza has led to a severe health crisis, especially for children younger than 5. The United Nations has reported more than 179,000 acute respiratory infections and a "25-fold" increase in diarrhea. 

Genocide affects not only infections and epidemiology, but also genetics, which was another part of her course, she said. 

D'Aquino highlighted the 1994 genocide in Rawada. A "first of its kind" study from the University of South Florida found that the Rwandan genocide chemically modified the DNA of victims and victim's children. The program found that the victims had gene modifications that, "genes previously implicated in risk for mental disorders such as PTSD and depression."

On May 8, two days after the optional assignment, D'Aquino received her termination letter, which cited the faculty handbook that states, " faculty are obligated to avoid significant intrusion of material unrelated to the course."

Franza : "Do you feel like there should have been a warning made?"

D'Aquino:  "Yes."

Franza:  "Was this a way of incorporating politics into your class?

D'Aquino : "No, but I also feel like I wasn't purposely trying to incorporate politics. I was really trying to make sure my classroom—I was, incorporating the diversity, equity and inclusion that I prioritize in all of my teaching; making sure that students are heard and seen. However, it's important to note that biologists, scientists, and anybody in any field—we don't exist in bubbles."

D'Aquino said only one student expressed concerns directly to her—a conversation they had openly with the rest of the class.

"I did have an outpouring of support from students who appreciated the assignment," D'Aquino said.  

She said she is disappointed and confused and said that it is still unclear to her what she did wrong.

"This is a reprimand towards me that's also sending a message to other faculty that to not speak up about this; that Palestine is not a topic of conversation in the classroom - and that you will be removed," she said. "I also think it's a message to students, too, that if your faculty; your staff can't speak about it, then you can't either."

CBS 2 reached out to DePaul about its investigation – if they asked others in the class about their experiences. The university did not answer that part of CBS 2's question, but did issue the following statement.

"DePaul University is committed to academic freedom and free speech. We are also unwavering in our commitment to ensure that no acts of hatred, discrimination, harassment, Islamophobia, or antisemitism are tolerated in our community.  " On May 8, we received multiple complaints from students regarding an assignment in Health 194, Human Pathogens and Defense . The course introduces students to the diverse microorganisms that cause significant disease within the human population. The students expressed significant concern about the introduction of political matters into the class. We investigated the matter, spoke with the faculty member, and found it had negatively affected the learning environment. The class now has a new instructor, and the faculty member has been released from their appointment as a part-time faculty member at DePaul University.   "DePaul's Faculty Handbook, consistent with the American Association of University Professors' 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure, states that faculty are obligated to avoid significant intrusion of material unrelated to the course, to avoid any coercion of the judgment or conscience of students, to uphold the scholarly standards of one's academic discipline, and to respect the rights of other persons to hold and express different intellectual positions. "Additionally, all faculty – including adjunct faculty – have rights under our Faculty Handbook, including the right to appeal a decision on the grounds that it violated the faculty member's academic freedom. Such appeals are heard by an Appeals Board comprised of three tenured faculty members. For adjunct faculty, the process is expedited."

D'Aquino hopes to get back to teaching the same students she left mid-quarter.
