Get SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Tools (etc) from Microsoft site ... download it, install it, learn to use it (download the BOL as well ... cornupcopia of exemplary behaviors in this), then "table up" (sp = copy the data from the mothership, do as you would with it, locally).

You can't.
SQL Server is a server based database management system - it requires a server to be running and accessible when you try to use the DB. If the connection is missing, you cannot access the DB at all, because you have to go via SQL server. Windows Authentication won't help that - and it's probably not going to work even when the server is up and running.

There are ways you can use a database that don't require SQL Server, but they pretty much are single user systems using a database on your local machine instead of one that can be shared by your fellow students. For this kind of work, look at SqLite, Access, or even SQLCE. Or, you could install a copy of SQL Server on your local computer and use that instead, then "update" the remote DB when it is available. The update part can get extremely complicated though, so it will need some careful thought. MS provide SQL Server Express for this kind of development, which is free to use.
