Classroom Rules
⦁ Be Punctual; Late arrivals will be punished accordingly
⦁ No Complaints; I don’t want to hear it
⦁ Be Prepared; The noticeboard exists for a reason
⦁ No Food; Unless you bring enough to feed me and all our creatures, too
⦁ Wear Your Uniform; Unless you like point loss
⦁ Respect Your Professor and Peers
⦁ Raise Your Hand; Shouting out answers will NOT be tolerated
⦁ Keep Your Hands to Yourself; I'd hope this one is self explanatory

OOC Reminders
⦁ All SS Rules and SS RPG rules apply at ALL times
⦁ IC offenses will be handled IC, and OOC offenses will be handled OOC. Pretty self explanatory, yeah?
⦁ Furthermore, there is a big difference between Professor Draper and Ariana. His actions and thoughts IC do not reflect my own. He may bite, but I don’t ;)
⦁ Remember, this is all about FUN, points are awarded for PARTICIPATION and not for having the right answers. Let your characters get creative and run free with their answers.
⦁ If the lesson has begun before you had a chance to post, pretend that your character has been there the whole time! We’d love to see you participating in the lesson whenever you get the chance!
⦁ Please refrain from editing your posts and changing your answers. I am the TYPO QUEEN so i’ve had my fair share of decoding small spelling mistakes. That being said, if you ABSOLUTELY MUST edit your post, please double check with me before doing so.
⦁ Have a question? Shoot me a PM or feel free to ask Professor Draper! We'd love to help anywhere we can <3

Brief Explanation of Point Distribution
⦁ Points will be kept at a maximum of 20 per lesson. This is including extra credit.
⦁ Catch up posts during lessons will receive full credit only for CERTAIN activities, which I will point out in my post. Any catch up posts done at other points throughout the lesson, can receive anything from full, partial, or no credit at all depending on how thorough and thought-out your post may be.
⦁ Activities will count for most of the participation in a lesson, and exact point distribution WILL be mentioned in my post. If at any point you would like further clarification as to what it takes to receive full credit, PM me.
⦁ Plagiarized answers will receive NO credit, so make sure to keep everything in your own words.
⦁ Points are given for PARTICIPATION. You will not be punished for wrong answers! I promise that all 20 points are still fully achievable even if your character is completely lost on the subject matter itself. Just have fun with it and everything will work out! Scout’s honor :)

Let’s talk points (part 2)

As mentioned in the previous post, I can only give a maximum of 20 points per lesson (including any extra credit). I have a specific way of distributing these points and in hopes of being transparent I’m going to try my best to explain how I do things.

You get points for showing up. It doesn’t matter if you’ve only posted an arrival or if you skipped the arrival and jumped into the activity straight away. It doesn’t even matter if you only posted one time. You took time out of your day to join and you’ll be acknowledged for it.
Each question or task that is asked of you is worth a small number of points. If I ask one question and you answer that one question in a post, you will get a point. Sometimes the weight of the task or question is a bit heftier than others and I will be sure to point this out to you when it happens. I will tell you exactly how much it is worth so there isn’t any gray area and if I forget then you are more than welcome (and very much encouraged) to come ask me about it!
It’s okay if you can’t answer every question or join in every task. It would be unfair of me to expect that. For that reason, I will always allow you the opportunity to earn extra points to make up for anything you missed out on. How to get these extra points? By having fun. Be silly, be creative, show me detail, have a good time and let your character have a good time.
I will repeat myself here because this is important: Your post count is not the most important factor. You will be rewarded for having fun and participating even if you miss a few things.
And please remember that at the end of the day, it’s about having a good time. Points are given to add to the experience, but our focus should be on having a good time and enjoying the RP at face value.

If there is anything else you would like me to clear up please feel free to PM me about it so that I can help because if you have a concern I’m sure that someone else has the same one. There are no stupid questions and I want to hear from YOU <3

I can also give you a more detailed rundown of how I distribute points for any specific lesson, just stop by and ask! I'll be more than happy to clear up any questions/concerns.
