Posts: I require site requirement of posts (2 posts, 5 lines (approximately 80-100 words) each), but more is helpful. When RPing, I'd like to move through lessons, allow students to actually brew and see what they come up with. Also, I'd like for students to be willing to test their potions; of course, anything that looks as though it could be harmful will be zapped away before a student could dare to take a whiff.
Five lines (80-100 words) as a minimum per post as with site requirements. Remember to observe everything you are able to, record your character thoughts and reactions to make better quality posts. Not all students are focused on the lesson at hand, incorporate day dreaming, sleeping, staring at the back of the head of your crush, drool, be alert and think you're at breakfast, doodle rather than take notes, do what best fits your character.
I do not want OOC posts. We are in class, on an IC chat thread, not an OOC one. If there is need for discussion about something, PM the person you feel the need to discuss things with. I am not opposed to suggestions or concerns, PM me and we'll chat about whatever it is you need to. However, I will be making OOC posts to inform you when class has begun or to keep track of points given or taken throughout the thread.
If for any reason you are unable to attend a posted class, please PM me. I don't need a reason, just a note saying you can't make the class thread. It's merely for courtesy reason.
If there are any concerns or comments about this, feel free to PM me and we'll discuss the issue(s) at hand.

How Points are Awarded in Potions Lessons
Just follow these simple rules and you will gain or lose points for your House. Be realistic, not everyone is a Hermoine Granger, play true to your character and you will be awarded accordingly.
1. Posting once in my lessons does not earn, nor lose, you points for your House.
2. If you post in accordance with HR Rules (twice, each being five lines (80-100 words) and you will automatically be awarded 5 points toward your House.
3. If you are the writer to post most in my lessons, your character will earn 3 extra points toward their House.
4. If you post more than the Professor, your character earns 2 extra points for each post made.
5. Unsuspecting T.A.s (you will be PMed or informed during a thread) automatically earn 10 points for posting by HR Guidelines (2 posts, 5 lines each).
6. Entering my lesson after I have posted that it has begun loses your character's House 10 points. However, you have the choice of posting as having been present the whole time without penalty. It is your choice.
7. Answering questions will earn your character's House varying points (between 1-10 points).
8. Your finished product in this class does not have to be perfect in order to gain points. And the more detailed a description, the more points you will be awarded (Between 1-15 points).
9. If your class finishes a lesson, everyone in the lesson will automatically be awarded 25 points for their House (25 points per character).
10. If a lesson finishes and your character has not posted at least once, your House will lose 40 points.
11. If your name appears on my Class List Thread, I expect you to post in the according lesson. Not posting without Notice of your Absence (LoA, a PM, or a Message on the Coming and Going Thread) loses your House 25 points as it will be counted as an absence.
12. At the end of the year, the top three posters in my class (cumulatively) will each earn 50 points toward their House, which may make or break the House Cup.
