Classroom?

[Pineapple]

ok, lesson 1 of creative writing is up for those who signed up, allong with assignment 1.

 

[New_U.S.]

thr should probably be a classroom section b/c of all the classes that are coming out now

also Im probably going to offer classes over some form of C in the summer

 

[PurgeandFire]

I have a question..

- What about the re-occuring +rep problem where you have to spread it around? I don't think that the teachers will be able to rep a bunch of people frequently unless they have a bunch of students.

 

[Knocksious]

I didn't think this was about +rep....

 

[PurgeandFire]

Well, many teachers decided to +rep people if they do their hw... But they won't be able to do that frequently because of the "You must spread the rep around" thing... Unless you create tons of dummy accounts and rep them so you can re-rep the students afterwards, but that would take a bunch of dummies... Or you can just have other students/staff rep you.

--------------------------------

btw: Nope, this isn't for rep... This is so that other students and members who are noobs to subjects can benefit from these classes and learn to unnoob themselves.

Umm, no.

If this Classroom thing follows a trend of causing so many problems with rep and whatnot then it should not/will not happen.

What I do (will do) is collect assignments and then when the new class will be posted I will declare what assignment I found best (in case of draw, both people) and I will reward the "winner" with reputation for the effort.

 

[Miz]

I say no rep at all but w/e you can teach anyway

 

[IKilledKEnny]

>I say no rep at all.

Well there should be a motive to make assignments.

Wow! Good Idea!

P.S. Do you mind if I use that idea on some of my assignments, or do you want to keep your glorious idea to yourself, I won't mind?

Try to keep Classrooms to one thread. If you can't do that, we'll be forced to lock them.

The motive is learning which is what this whole thing is about.

 

[U are a noob]

Umm could i do a class room on non-triggered spells?

We call this a contest.

Yes, good idea, but the problem with that is, it will be hard for the teacher/students/onlookers to find a certain lesson.

Go ahead; I'm not stopping you.

We call this a contest.

True, but you don't learn much from contests, do you?

If I missed anyone, then tell me.
Anyone wishing to join, tell me, and I'll update this post.
This way people can check if the class is open.
Not that you can't co-teach with a teacher, or ask the person if they can teach.

Arrghh... it's hard to make everyone happy.

That really is a problem that you guys need to deal with. There can't be 5 different threads for one 'classroom'. We have rules against that.

I don't mean to sound harsh. We're completely letting you guys try this out and see if it works, but having 4 different threads in the same forum for the same topic is a little overboard. Please try to keep them to one thread.

 

[pheonixashes]

Ok then, everyone just do that, to prevent your threads from being locked, until something else happens.

 

[The Helper]

Anyone can start a classroom but you know we can and will lock threads at anytime. We have very active Moderation here. I would suggest you guys discourage newbs from doing it though....

Well your telling us to say no... but because there volunteering we can fire them if they do something wrong but we can't really say no

But were asking for you to send a copy and we may have to put a req. to be a teacher if TH wants us too

Remember If you get your classroom thread locked

1) Don't open another classroom

2) Ask The Mod why (if they didn't tell you) why its closed

3) We are not held responsible if you get your Thread Close, or Re-open your thread without permission because Its no our probelm if we find out your threads been closed by a mod and its a good reason (which it is most of the time) We will give your class to the next opening person

That really is a problem that you guys need to deal with. There can't be 5 different threads for one 'classroom'. We have rules against that.

Well if your a teacher you can get punish you don't understand we don't have that power you admins do but not us...

But we will try to stop this much as possible and I will send notice of these new rules to all the teachers

Update - I have sent all the messages there all the same for all 10 teachers

I do accept PMs again (problem fixed) So reply to me if you have any problems

Here is the copy of the letter I sent if you don't get it for some odd reason

____________________________________________________________
New Rules have been set up from TH and Admins of Thehelper forums

1) You can only post lesson on one Thread!
2) Don't teach if you don't know the topic
3) If you get your class locked DON'T Re-open it
4) If you get your Class locked and the mod tells you please tell us (or the mod will)
5) If its a good reason we will hand your class to the next person who wants it

Notes:
- Theses Rules are Enforced by all Mods
- No Exceptions
- We are not held responsible if you get your Thread Close, or Re-open your thread without permission because Its no our problem if we find out your threads been closed by a mod and its a good reason (which it is most of the time) We will give your class to the next opening person

I will also be looking over Classrooms Strictly

[Miz]

I have been replying to all teachers but just to tell you guys

WE DIDN'T MAKE THIS RULES
