+1 I’ve never been able to get a college character for the entirety I’ve played of SRP. I don’t often have the time to do activities or attend classes and usually only get 30 minutes to a hour of playtime every few days during the week. I would like for the amount of college credits to be lowered but I would understand if they aren’t because college is supposed to be hard to get into and you’re not supposed to just grind for some time for credits and get into college is how I see it. I like the idea of alternatives like the stickers being turned into credits if you request it because the items you can get from stickers either require too many or not enough teachers give them out and having another way to earn credits is nice. But I do feel like attending a certain amount of classes should equal a credit for example (5 classes = 1 credit) instead of just homework. It gives more opportunities and honestly would make people want to join classes that don’t offer homework. Though there will be some exploitation, I think this can be avoided by asking for a minimum amount of participation.

This was something that was dabbled into in the past and I'm a bit Neutral on this but leaning more towards +1

I would admit 50 hw credits to go from HS to College B is WAY too much for having hw as a main way to grade up. And as an HD I've gotten a ton of complaints about hws not being graded and I've even gotten people asking me to grade their hws right after I've graded all my hws (Like it would be submitted right after I've finished). And personally speaking and this is my take on it but I thing that if we were to lower the credit requirement it should go down to 35-40 if we where to only make credits obtainable through homeworks only. However If we go with @MarsRel suggestion to giving credits for simply attending we should keep the 50 credit requirement as lowering it would significantly make easier to get to college tag. This would also apply if we include the addition of school related events where you can earn credits such as internships.

Therefore it can go two ways. Either we don't change the credit requirement and add more ways to obtain credits or lowering the total credits needed and calling it there. And personally with me I see the former a lot more favorable as it gives player more roleplay opportunities. Afterall grinding for credits isn't really something that's encouraged since it raises risk of burnout and as a HU in teacher faction the most we can do is enforce more frequent HWs grading. But If I were to speak about this in the standing of a regular player, I wouldn't really mind at all having a lowered HW requirement.

BUT What I really want is for the Homework pluggin (as in the website from /homework) To be updated and reworked so it would make grading homeworks easier and also making them too. I actually suggested that but not sure if it's gonna happen.

Nah just be like me and Chud out (+1 this would help us professors get more active classes too, I'm Culinary and my class relies heavy on detailrp but once i get through my plan, its kinda just done... more students help with adding more interaction in the class which also helps classes flow better, some people type really fast which is great for detailrp but with a class with only two students... you have to deal with figuring out what to do for the rest of the period!)

I personally love your take on it. I also agree more school related events SHOULD have a credit boost, specifically pertaining to internships. In a realism sense, these significantly boost your academic career, and should here too. It'd help raise the popularity on them, along with the possibility of garnering more traction as a looked for event?

I could also see this being exploited, so, correct me if I'm wrong as I've dropped out of the two internships I was partaking in, you should be graded at the end of an internship. Whether that be up to those within the faction you were interning within, or up to school faculty is beyond me. Most factions are already so busy, but, a simple 'pass' or 'no pass' and you get x amount of educational credits.

As complicated as that is.

I also agree if stickers could be turned into educational credits, then no the allowance of credits needed should not be lowered, same with participation in classes. Which as I look back upon it, I think stickers being turned into credits rather than simple class attendance is a far more reasonable alternative as it already is relying upon participation. At the end of the day, the whole point is TO PARTICIPATE!
