Another week at the Shadow Academy, another bunch of apprentices graduated (with a rather high number of Sith and Obelisk compared to normal - thanks to those who helped them make it!)

BTW, I have seen over 300 course graduations since I became Headmaster and that's in just two months. A 5 per day average. And seeing how low the "passed" numbers are on some of the courses here, I know this could be sustained or even increased upon for quite a while to come. I'd like to see all courses in the three-digit numbers for graduates, right now only three of the advanced courses have that number.

Now something for the sadists out there - I'll tell you a secret. Eclectic pedagogs hate getting a lot of work. So if you want to really get them mad, do a bunch of courses and smile gleefully, seeing how you take control over their time, making them grade your course! Oh, and you can also improve on that and use up Headmaster time - just write a course and I'll have a hell of a bunch of work in crosschecking, HTMLizing, testing and uploading. Easy, isn't it ?

Speaking of new courses, summertime and folks on leave made things quiet on this front, but we're still working on that stuff and I'm sure we'll see some more cool courses soon-

And don't forget the Shadow Academy banner competition... I've already received an incredible graphic that just has the flaw of too large a filesize (and no, it can't be compressed, it's an animated GIF to achieve a lighting effect). I'll make sure I'll find something in the medal chest for that image's author and a place on the web for the picture even though it cannot place for the real thing... So see, you could have a medal too.
