Tips

• Set up a subpage in the trainer's userspace. One page per student.
• Add the questions to the subpage in small groups, wait for the student to finish them, grade them, then add the next group.
• Templates such as Y {{Tick}}, Y {{Yellow tick}}, and N {{Cross}} are great for grading.
• Be on the lookout for plagiarism. Old NPP school pages are public unless deleted, and students sometimes read them and paraphrase the answers.
• The idea of "deletion quotas" (any exercises involving X number of CSDs/AFDs/draftifications) is controversial and has been discussed negatively at RFA before.
• The NPP Discord server is available if you want to have text chat, voice chat, and/or screen sharing with a student.
