− | ==Structure and learning process== | + | == Structure == |
− | {{AUDisciplines|clear=right}}The Arcane University is divided into '''disciplines''', or departments, each with its own group of specialized teachers who frequent their respective department. The channels are open, so group learning among students is also common. Administration of the AU is handled by a 3-person tribunal (the triumvirate) and a small group of designated moderators. A list of teachers and members of the Triumvirate can be found on the [[Staff]] page.
| + | The Arcane University is led by a 3-person tribunal. There are also a number of teachers whom the students can ask for feedback or help, as well as their fellow students. Most teachers will have a specialization in one of the disciplines into which the Arcane University is split. |
| | | |
− | Most of the learning within the Arcane University is self-guided. There are a number of tutorials and/or lesson plans available, depending on the discipline. Students can follow these and post their work for feedback, or ask questions at any time. Students may progress through special [[Arcane University:Arcane Roles|Arcane Roles]] based on their dedication to learning through AU coursework: Arcane Scribe, Arcane Mystic, Arcane Praxographicalist. These represent their skill and effort at learning their chosen discipline. | + | Most of the learning within the Arcane University is self-study.
