WUaS plans to hire graduate student instructors from great universities who may be becoming professors, to teach overachieving, matriculated, WUaS students in sections in G+ group video Hangouts, for example, engaging the Conference Method (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning), in conjunction MIT OCW faculty in video (http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/), and to do grading at WUaS as part of a conversation in learning. Such courses may engage other forms of grading, but that will partly be up to the head graduate student instructor in any given course.
