CardinalBricks Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 I'm not quite sure yet if I'll sign up. Is there any way to see what goes on without actually signing up? Quote

Not really, but I will say that participation isn't compulsory once you're in. Would you like me to add you so you can see? You're not beholden to participate if you don't want to. Quote

Dhivael Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I would like to join, if you're still taking people. Right now all I have is a point & shoot camera, but have been considering upgrading and would welcome advice. Quote

BrickBuilder3213 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I'd like to give this a go, but I'm going to need to work on getting a space for reviewing some HF sets in my bedroom. Quote

WhiteFang Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Hi, I'd love to join! EDIT: Anyone?... Access granted. Welcome to Reviewers Academy. Quote
Pandora Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I would like to enter. I'll have a go, if you'll have me. Access granted to both. Welcome to the Reviewers Academy. Quote
tomdobs55 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) I do have a decent camera but my computer is in the shop at the moment, but I would like to see what the academy is all about, can I join up? Edited January 7, 2014 by tomdobs55 Quote
thrak76 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Hi there! I'm a new member and would love to write some reviews, especially on some sets I've noticed don't have a review yet. Can I join please? Quote
LukeWarmTea Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Is it still possible to join the Academy? ^ The last three posts have gone unanswered... I'd love to learn how to write a review and especially photograph Lego sets. I think it'd be really interesting to write them for AFOLs and also for parents looking to buy Lego for their children too. I'm keen to review all my old Town, Fabuland and Bellville sets which I think collectors might be keen on, as well as Friends (which I'm actively trying to collect all of!) Quote

Welcome all of you to the Academy, I've added you all. If we don't answer straight away here, don't worry, we always will, it just means we've also got other stuff to deal with too. Quote
Pandora Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Is it ok if I join? If you remove the animated .gif from your signature, yes. I have added you, but I'm serious about the .gif - check the site guidelines in my (non-animated) signature for more details. Quote
thrak76 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 So, i've joined the RA - and i've written and posted my first review. I wonder if the RA is still an active component of EB? It took many days to get any C&C (or teaching), and now after my quick edits and revisions, it has now stalled about a week, along with another review that hasn't even been touched since it's first post two weeks ago. I understand people are busy, but there are quite a few teachers in RA. I'd like to know if this normal for RA? I was looking forward to its benefits - but I was also eager to write some reviews. I have some reviews backlogged now while I wait for my very first review to be approved... Quote
Pandora Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Every single teacher in the RA teaches in their own time. It is still very much an active component of EB, but activity there depends on so many factors, not simply the number of teachers. Many teachers also have other commitments around EB, and free time is, unfortunately, a finite resource. In the same way that we do not set time limits for our students, we do not expect our students to set time limits for us. If you would like to discuss this further, I suggest you post in the topics within the RA, where you may garner the attention of more teachers. I will reiterate, though. Teaching requires goodwill and free time, so please be patient, thank you. Quote
