The Nitty Gritty Details (Part 1) - Classes
Chapter 2
Hi again! So, before we can do all of the fun stuff this website has to offer, we have to be able to get there! Here are all of the things you can do on this website, how to get to them, and some common mistakes I see that we can avoid! Before you do anything though, I would go check out the Code of Conduct. It really helped me get a grasp on how this website is run.
Classes: Classes are an amazing way to expand your Harry Potter knowledge and earn house points.
In the first year, there are 7 main courses that you have to do in order to pass the first year and move on to the second year. There are 9 lessons in each class, as well as (most times) a quiz and essay to go along with the lesson. The essays are all optional in year one, but in the years above, you start to see more mandatory essays. There is also a midterm and final for you to take. These classes are not like online school in the way you probably know it. You can do them whenever you want, there are no Zoom/Google Meets, and you don't even have to do them if you don't want to! Have fun with these, they are definitely one of my favorite parts of this website! I have the course catalog linked down below as well as the steps to enroll and take classes.

How to enroll (First Years):
1. Click the drop-down arrow of the orange button in the right-hand corner. Switch from "My Courses" to "First-Year Courses".
2. To pass Year 1 and move on, you have to enroll in all of them. You can do this, or not, whatever you fancy. To enroll in a course that you are interested in, click on that tile and click the orange button under the summary of that class "Enroll"
3. Have fun!
