Thoughts on things.

this would actually help me in my workfield. I talk to a few instructors in college. Sprite artists who are graphic designers get a welll good amount of job and pay.

Like Mimesong, from rmxp.net. Not just that but mimesong did sprites for a job!

 

Sounds like an interesting idea, but I tend to agree with Asa and Charaman. I have better ways to use my time anyways.

I really thinnk you do, but what I´m to make here is a low time consuming thing, specially for masters. I had already in mind that not many people would step up just for the sake of it. That´s exacly why I though in two week lessons. Day 1 the teacher posts the lesson. Day 14 he´d check the thread again to see the homeworks. In 1 post he´d correct all the lessons. If more time is needed, stabilish it in the classes proposal. For the students, day 1 they receive the theory and the homework. They´d have till day 14 to do it.

That´s doable right? And c'mon Warxe, we´d really need you.

Charas school? School sucks. :p
It's a cool idea, I might help in whatever way I can if you manage to make something out of this.

[DarkFlood2]

Well, What are you guys waiting for?
This is a good idea and it'll be excellent for me because it's the field i'm looking into.

[Spike21]

i would defenetly join. i would love to see this done

[X_marks_the_ed]

I'd definitely take the course. My sprites always come out wrong, even when ripping.

I need more practice. See for yourself, my spriting sucks.

Because I'm currently ripping Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland Sprites for the moment. I'm ripping NES sprites for my website.

To show that my spriting sucks, which is why i'd probably take the course if it is established.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Do you really want me to list all of the reasons that I won't do this?

you need to speak kijuki to understand it, duh

Yes, please. I need reasons to understand and accept why a guy with so much to share like you wouldn´t like to do it Plus, you´ve always been pro the community, so I find it weird. Don´t take me wrong here, I just think of you as a awesome addition to the whole thing.

Kijuki: You´re right, we need organization now. And I count on you guys to do it. I was gonna proceed to opening the teachers subscription, but we need to organize things first.

I was thinking of this, for a start:

Phase 1: Teachers subscription and course proposals.

This would be divided in 2 phases:

1.1 Subscription
1.2 Course presentation and proposal.

1.1 is easy: hey, I wanna teach. Done. 1.2 is crucial cause the teachers-to-be would show us what they´re gonna teach, in this format:

Course name:
Teacher name:
Difficulty:
Prerequisites (if any):
Duration:
Lessons per week:
Max number of students: (based oin the teacher´s "time to spare")
General information:
Extra information:


I think that´ll do. After that a "council", which I vote for being formed by mods would judge the proposal and accept or deny it (with explanation, based on possibility of being done, relevance and conflict with forum rules [ex. porn downloading lessons...sorry Drace]). If permission is denied, time will be given to the teacher-to-be to fix his proposal.

How does it sound?

Sounds pretty simple, let me give this a little test...

1.1 I wanna teach  :vict:

1.2

Course name: Coding in rm2k/3 101
Teacher name: DragonBlaze
Difficulty: Starts easy, gets hard
Prerequisites (if any): Know how to use variables, switches, and forks to some extent
Duration: However long it takes (couple of months)
Lessons per week: 2
Max number of students: 20
General information: It'll start off with general coding stratagies such as breaking down a system, how to plan a script out, then it'll take that knowlage and apply it to many various rm2k3 scripts. The basics of custom menu systems, custom battle systems, and algorithms will also be covered.
Extra information: Students will be able to pop out custom systems like pros by time they complete this course  


So does that work out good?

That's it, that's what I had in mind! Though I have to ask....how are you gonna keep track of the homeworks? Via screenshot?

This sounds really cool, and, like Kijuki, it would give me an excuse to get back into spriting.  I don't know if I would have the time to do a school myself, but I have another idea on how people could help.  You know that lots of people won't have enough time to have their own school, so if people paired up, one with lots of time, and one with not so much, they can work together to make it even better, and lighten the homework grading load.  Its like the assistant teachers in actual schools.  Then, if time clears up, then they can break off and start their own school too, with the experience from the last.  So, whadaya say?  (Thats how I'd probably have to do it...)
