User:John F. Lewis/Adopt

These lessons are to be used by John F. Lewis' adoptees. In order for an adoptee to successfully pass the adoption process, they must complete the required courses, and at least once optional course. After the completion of the required courses, and the optional the adoptee will receive a test, tests will vary from student to student depending on the optional courses that took, and the level of editing experience they have. You must pass the test with an 85% or higher to pass, if you fail the test you are welcome to re-take another version after you complete the other optional classes you did not do before. Once the adoptee has passed the test they are not finished with the program, but instead done with the in class part of the adoption process and now will be "free to roam about the project". I will be monitoring their contributions and giving them constructive criticism along the way. I hope that they will use some of the skills taught in my classes, to demonstrate they actually learned something. Once they have demonstrated (through their edits) a clear understanding of Wikipedia's core policies, and have proven to be able to effectively and civilly communicate with other users, they will graduate from my course. They are always welcome to continue to ask me questions, and stay in contact once they have graduated.
