Credit system?!

The college instructors present looked at the documents in their hands and fell silent after listening to Merlin's words. They were thinking about the feasibility of this system.

Wendell Clemens looked at the document in his hand and snorted at what Merlin said. "Is this different from the original system? It's still the same, just replaced by credits."

"Same? How can they be the same, Wendell? Are you mentally ill? Credits can only be obtained through a series of activities within the college, such as attending classes, studying, and taking exams. They can't be easily obtained by relying on family background or purchasing gold coins. Even a rough guy like me can see that." Baker Monroe said carelessly, leaning back in his chair with the documents in his hand.

Merlin nodded and said loudly before Wendel could say anything more, "That's right. I will establish a new system and rules in the Arcane Academy. That is, the correct orientation is that the capable are promoted, the excellent are rewarded, the mediocre are demoted, and the inferior are eliminated. Family? Background? Financial support? They will be suppressed to the lowest level in the Arcane Academy. Everything will be based on credits!"

"I think there is nothing wrong with giving preferential treatment to students with excellent grades, rather than relying on so-called background and money! If students of the Arcane Academy want preferential treatment, they should get it based on their strength!"

Vice Principal Jenny looked at the document on the method of obtaining credits and nodded in approval.

How to obtain credits:

(1) Classroom learning

Each course has different credits according to its difficulty and class time. The credits earned depend mainly on classroom performance and final exam results. The specific credit allocation method is as follows:

Basic courses (such as magic theory, basic element control, history of magic, etc.):

Each semester: 2-4 credits.

Students are required to complete assignments on time, participate in class discussions, and make classroom presentations. The final exam score accounts for 70% of the credits, and regular performance accounts for 30%.

Advanced courses (courses studied by department after the second year, such as: Potions, Magic Steam Dynamics, Array Studies, Alchemy Circuit Studies, etc.):

Each semester: 4-6 credits.

Students are required to submit research reports, participate in experiments or group projects, with the final exam accounting for 60% of the credits and projects and reports accounting for 40%.

Specialized courses (compulsory courses: such as fighting skills courses, practical courses, and exclusive compulsory courses for each subject in the six major branches, etc.):

Each semester: 6-10 credits.

The credits for this type of course are closely related to the student's technical performance and research depth. The final exam score accounts for 50%, but the student's performance in practical exercises, magic challenges, and special assignments accounts for 50%.

(2) Tasks and Practice

In addition to classroom learning, Arcane Academy also offers various tasks and practical activities to cultivate students' practical ability and independent thinking ability. Students can earn extra credits by participating in tasks and practical activities.

Academy tasks: such as assisting the academy in managing the magic laboratory, participating in the academy's magic research projects, solving tasks hired by external forces for the academy, and going to the Warcraft Mountains and other places to obtain alchemy and magic potion materials needed by the academy. After completing each task, students will receive 2 credits, with no upper limit, based on the difficulty of the task.

Internship tasks: Each student needs to choose a mentor for a one-semester internship in the third year. Under the guidance of the mentor, students participate in actual magic research, combat tasks or the production of magic items. The credits of the internship task are 10-20 credits, which are determined by the student's performance and contribution in the task.

College activities: such as magic arenas, academic lectures, magic exhibitions, etc. Students who participate in these activities can also obtain certain credits, usually 1-3 credits.

(3) Examination and assessment

The final exam results of each semester directly affect the credits a student obtains. Excellent exam results will earn more credits and affect the student's reputation in the college.

Examination content: The final examination includes theoretical tests, practical magic operation assessments, project reports, etc.

Ratio of exam scores to credits:

Grade A (Excellent): Students obtain more than 90% of the total credits for the course.

Grade B (Good): Students receive 75%-89% of the total credits for the course.

Grade C (Pass): Students receive 50%-74% of the total credits for the course.

Grade D (Fail): The student did not earn enough credits.

Examination results directly determine the final issuance of course credits and affect students’ subsequent academic opportunities.

Credit Award and Teacher Evaluation

Each teacher can earn a certain number of credits each year based on his or her teaching level, course difficulty and student feedback. These credits are used to reward students with outstanding performance.

Teacher credit rewards: Each teacher can award credits to students based on their test scores, classroom performance, task completion, etc. The amount of credit rewards for teachers is determined based on teaching results, student feedback and annual evaluation.

Teacher rank and credits: The rank of a teacher (from assistant professor to dean) determines the amount of credits they can award to students each year. For example, an assistant professor can award up to 100 credits per year, while a full-time teacher can award 500 credits or more.

Michelle raised her hand at this time: "So what are these credits used for?"

"Good question, Dean Michelle. I told you that credits are everything to the students at the Arcane Academy! Now turn the document to the next page!"

After Merlin finished speaking, the sound of pages turning could be heard in the conference room.

Use of credits

(1) Exchange of College Resources

Credits are a special currency within the college and can be used to exchange for a variety of college resources. The exchange price of each resource fluctuates according to market supply and demand and the needs of the college.

Magical herbs and alchemical materials: The redemption credits range from low to high according to the levels of common, excellent, rare, precious, epic, legendary and mythical.

Alchemical equipment and weapons: The credits required also vary depending on the quality. You can even use the credits to hire college teachers or masters of the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop to tailor-make alchemical equipment and weapons for you.

Canteen and accommodation: Credits can be used to pay for meals in higher-level canteens and dormitory fees in higher-level dormitories. Students can enjoy different levels of canteens and accommodation according to their credit levels.

Tutoring by famous teachers: Credits can be used to pay college tutors. You can choose your favorite famous teacher for one-on-one guidance. As long as you can afford the credits, you can even get personal guidance from the dean of the Arcane College.

(2) Personal status and privileges

The level of credits directly affects the status and privileges of students in the college. The higher the student's credits, the more privileges they can enjoy.

High-credit students: Students with more than 150 credits can enjoy the college's "aristocratic treatment", such as living in premium dormitories, priority in choosing courses and extracurricular activities, priority access to college resources, and even the ability to apply for guidance from high-level mentors.

Student Union Eligibility: Students with more than 200 credits are eligible to participate in the student union elections, can hold important positions in the college organization, and enjoy higher political status and rights.

Canteen and accommodation: Ordinary students can usually only enjoy basic meals and dormitories. Students with higher credits can enjoy the food in high-end restaurants and even live in the college's private dormitories and practice rooms.
