ooc: Points are given for answering questions correctly and participating in class. Class participation usually earns at most, 10 points. The number of points you receive depends on how you RPed your brewing (just saying you brewed the potion will earn you less points than if you tell me how you brewed it). Points awarded for homework are based more on whether you actually did the homework and how much effort you put forth than whether or not you answered correctly (most of this stuff I either make up or is loosely based on some bit of facts I picked up from a book or the web so, I don't expect you to get it right all the time). Extra points can sometimes be earned by sheer creativity (Mrs. Weasley came up with a brilliant story about one of my made-up ingredients one term).
