Welcome to Basic Education 101! I will be navigating you through this basic class which teaches all the new and older elves about the ToS, User Agreement, and the stickies and rules of the GCD. Now, I will warn you about a few things. Here they are... This will be a class where you must sit down and actually read all the stickies, announcements, rules, and other information that I will provide. Failure to do class work will not only be known to me, but will not help you as we get deeper into the lessons I have planned.
There will be a form that all students must fill out so I can grade his/her work. This must be at the top of your first quiz post, or your attendance will not be counted.
[list][*] [b]Username[/b] -
[*] [b]Year you joined[/b] -
[*] [b]Old/New Elf[/b] - (Please note that if you are an older elf, you will only be required to take the last lesson on the GCD.)[/list]
Please note that if you are an older elf - meaning you started as an elf before the year 2009, or you have already graduated from the old academy - you will only be required to do the last section of this class, which is on the GCD. To newer elves, or those who haven't started or completed their education in the old academy - don't think you can cut the other lessons by claiming to be an older elf. The staff and teachers have a list of elves and his/her join date. We can simply check that list to see if you are telling us the truth or not. Now, below are the following reading materials. Again, please read these links; they are your "textbooks" for the class...
