Instructors come and go when it comes to WoX in general, whenever it comes to real-life or other situations. This allows for a flow of new instructors to bring their own special ideas and creative writing to the site and to their lessons.
It’s a joy to be a new student, opening up the lesson for the first time, to find coursework that is written with care. However, for some students who are higher years and have already done the lesson from the previous teacher, they have to either made a new character, or simply accept that they cannot do the lesson, because you can only do one W1Y1 ever on your account.
It’s rough for people who get attached to their characters, like I do. If I see an assignment I like, but I have already completed the class because of another instructor, I am unable to take the class. And that sucks D:
I don’t want to make a new account to write homework with a camper that I am not invested or attached to. There are certain things that make my character special and lets them resonate more with the assignment than another I made on a whim for a specific course.
As a member of WoX for almost a decade, I am more academically-driven on the site than roleplay-focused. I love doing homework, and I love grading, and most importantly I love character-building through the lessons I take. I don’t like the idea of having to abandon an account due to the fact that there are no more classes to take.
So here is what I am suggesting:
- Students should be allowed to take a class on a replaced lesson that they have already completed and submit it. (Ex: You have taken Y4W5 written by Instructor A, but you also are able to take Y4W5 written by Instructor B after the old one is replaced)
- This would overwrite the previous lesson submission (what you view when you open up the lesson), and if you don’t copy and keep the lesson that is going to be replaced, that is on you.
- The first grade (Godly, Divine, etc) will be archived next to the second assignment’s new grade as a small letter, so that a student cannot do-over a bad grade if they have failed to achieve Okay or better on all their 1st - 5th year assignments for the status, as this would be unfair to those who have already gotten the status reward.
- This mechanic already somewhat exists, as you are able to take exams you have already passed over again in the next year, even if they got replaced by another Instructor
Explaining it clearer:
- Student as a 1st year takes course in IG Y4 of the site for the Y1W1 lesson.
- They write the homework and get a Godly.
- Student’s best friend becomes an Instructor in Y5.
- New Instructor writes a new Y1W1 lesson.
- Student, now a 3rd year, wants to take their friends Y1W1 lesson but they cannot, because they took it for the Old Instructor.
With the new feature:
- Student is able to take their friend’s lesson without having to make a new account.
- The lesson on the page, when submitted has a white G next to the new assignment submitted, showing that they got a Godly on the first assignment.
- The old assignment submission for the Old Instructor’s lesson is deleted upon submitting the new assignment. It is up to the student to make sure they save this homework submission as well as the previous gradings through copy paste or screenshot.
- When the new assignment is graded, the same number of points and drachma are given as they would be from an ordinary grade
- The old assignment’s gradings in Your Homework disappear, but the lesson name now has a white G next to the title, showing that they had gotten a Godly originally on the first lesson for W1Y1 they turned in.
- The new assignment appears graded in Your Homework. The new grade is given, but the old grade is still clearly visible, in case management needs to view it at a later time, whether for disciplinary or congratulatory services.
If you like this idea, please let me know. But it is a running joke that my character has wanted a lesson on CPR for medical training. This has finally happened, but for a class lesson that I had already made homework for.
I also want to write homework with my character with the Norse Godly Parent trait, but the trait is obtainable only either through completing all 5 years and all the lessons, or by waiting approximately one month to see if it appears in the status store.
Given that my character only has about two months left before they graduate, and I have to wait one month to check the store again, I am doubting that I will ever be able to take any student lessons with my character with this trait, which is disappointing for me.
To be able to go back and do the new lessons from new Instructors also grants me the opportunity to experience and enjoy their writing as well.
For others, it may offer steady income, as reward-status holders tend to logically make less income than some campers, due to the campers’ ability to do more homework. which gives 30 drachma in comparison to grading’s 10.
Reward-Status Campers (ones who have completed all the lessons available to student campers) may find it hard to avoid certain items, like homes in Hestia’s homes or new weapons in Junkyard of the Gods, which means they would have to resort to alt-farming.
Once you have completed all graduate courses, you reply almost completely off of interest, riddles, catastrophes, and anagrams for your money, unless you have a staff job. This can be very restrictive.
Writing homework is a way I show my respect towards Instructors for all their time and effort they have put into the site as well as making lessons for us all to enjoy.
I’d hate to see only one Instructor per course to read my homework in response to their efforts, simply because the ones that came after just happened to miss me.
