Well, as I'm narrowing down to making the report cards for Kunit, I've hit a dead end. I've lost ideas for subjects (Like math, science, english).
Here, if anyone has ideas, you can post them and I'll add them to the list.
So far:

Creativity (+3 Credits)-Stuff to be added.
Ethics (+5 Credits)-Communicating with others (Main topic)
Ways you can communicate with others, such as T to talk, Y for talking in minigame, and how to use RTB's IRC for chatting and messaging, posting and messaging on the forums.
How you should act around others, and things you shouldn't say.
How to ask for things properly.
(Ex, don't ask for something, then when they say no, don't beg them.)
Maybe a few grammar lessons.
Handling flaming.
Memes, internet jokes, etc.
Trying your best to detect sarcasm, although almost impossible through text.
Don't feed trolls, and so on.
-What not to do in servers
Lonespawns, spamming, trapping, asking for admin, asking to load, constant bothering, bright lights, and stupid events.
-What is an administrator?
(I should make an e-book. :o)
-Forum Ethics
Bumping, double/triple posting, staying on-topic.
-Drama (+5 Credits)-Acting
Following instructions.
Be your character.
-Voice acting
(Give me a bit on this, I'm sure DigitalPh33r's guide to machinima or w/e explains voice acting well though)
-Directing
Be unique.
What do people want to see?
Don't drag stuff on for too long.
(Ex, Jim calling himself fat in many different ways in 1 scene, throughout 30 minutes)
Special effects.
(Don't be too vauge, don't overdo it.)
Time.
(Don't try to make a 2 hour movie in 1 day, all in 1 shot, take your time, do multiple takes for each shot until perfected.)
-Building
For movies, details are everything. Don't try to make passworded doors and leveling up for a movie, just have everything look nice. The actors should be able to be trusted. If a key is needed for a door, they can pretend not to open the door without it. Spend lots of time into building the scenes. Don't worry too much about what can't be seen.
-Camerawork
Moving the camera too much is bad.
Camera events work wonders for this kind of thing, instead of flying to the next part, just set a delay onto the next event, which will move you there in a second.
Get rid of the chat hud, and use an external messaging program such as Xfire, MSN, yahoo, etc.
-Teamwork
Let people know what's going on. If someone has a question, answer it with as much detail as possible.
Share very important information.
Make notes, give scripts to the actors, etc.
Best of all, make sure you can manage time, you don't need people in GMT -7 and GMT +8 working together.
