User:M.O.X/Adoption



These lessons are to be used by M.O.X's adoptees. In order for an adoptee to successfully pass the adoption process, they must complete the required courses, and at least two optional courses. After the completion of the required courses, and the two optional the adoptee will receive a test, tests will vary from student to student depending on the optional courses that they took, and the level of editing experience they have. Adoptee's must achieve a total of 85% or higher questions correctly answered to pass, if adoptee's fail the test they are welcome to re-take another version after they complete the other optional classes they 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. - If you are interested in being adopted, please use the above sign up method and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you wish to use the courses I provide please give the appropriate attribution since this is, after all, a wiki.

Courses
The following courses have been split into three groups, required, option and recommended. All adoptees will be required to complete the required lessons, choose and complete 2 optional lessons and 1 recommended lesson. These lessons are for the benefit of the adoptees, however, at the request of the adoptee I will change/add lessons based on their preferences and interests.
