User:Bellerophon/Adoption/Welcome

Welcome to adoption
Hi! You are now enrolled at my adoption school. Your official 'adoption page' is located at User:Bellerophon/Adoption/.

My adoption school works in a similar way to a conventional education course. Your adoption page is the Wikipedia equivalent of your exercise book. I will set you a series of assignments&mdash;there are 7 in total. The assignments will start with a list of material to read through; once you have read this, I will post a number of questions for you to answer, on the subject(s) you have just read about. I will review your answers and provide you with feedback. When you have answered all the questions and any followup questions, you will receive a grade for that assignment. Your assignments will be graded, with a grade from A* to C. If you do not complete an assignment to a satisfactory standard, you will be asked to re-sit that assignment. In your first assignment (which I have already assigned to you) you will learn about The Five Pillars of Wikipedia.

Once you have completed all the assignments satisfactorily, I will set you a final examination. Once you pass your final exam, you will receive your graduation certificate. Depending on your grades throughout the school, you may graduate with one of three honors! See the adoption school main page for more info.

Please leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions.
