Heyo!

I've just run tests with from 1 to 3 students, using ranks from 200 to 1000, and so far in every case having more students translated to more experience (looking directly at the xp awards themselves), so I'm not sure what is going on to lead people to think more students mean reduced experience. I certainly cannot reproduce it with any combination of 1-3 students and 200-1000 ranks so far.

Let's do some 'speriments, Smeggie!

I like experiments when they mean free shield classes.

Need more input, Dart! Were they all the same skill in schol and teach? Were they progressively higher in schol/teach, or opposite? Were they higher in Schol than Teach? Were they progressively higher in Schol, and lower in teach, or vice versa?

It doesn't matter. The teacher's experience is based entirely on the experience awarded to their best student that pulse, plus an additional bonus for each additional student up to an experience cap. The only way for your experience to go down is for the quality of your best student to go down (ie the best leaves the class). Well, that or for some outside influence to either reduce your teaching ability and/or decrease the best student's scholarship.

Now it is possible for very good teachers and students to hit the exp cap even with just one student, at which point adding more will make no difference. This may account for some of what extremely good teachers/student combos are seeing, in that adding more students at this point does nothing at all.

And before the extremely good teachers cry foul, there's some other stuff in the works for high level teaching that are intended to pick up where adding more students drops off.

It's possible I'm remembering incorrectly or convolving multiple tests that we've done in the past. Cael and I will run some tests over the next couple of days and we'll see.

Could also potentially be the case that past 10 students the exp award gets wonky.

Either way we'll get some data and let you know.
