Hello steemit community. it another opportunity to write again. since I joined steemit, I have grown so much love for reading and writing. ![Screenshot_20220120-171637.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRxbSTbq6yfmtYqukz29BAU8pyswgs96KMQgfBEw1oE7N/Screenshot_20220120-171637.jpg) today the steemit team have gave me an opportunity to air my view on the crypto academy event that have been ongoing for some months until it recently came to a short break I participated in two seasons of the crypto academy and they were amazing. I wrote some few post in the season 3 beginners course and this [post](https://steemit.com/hive-108451/@lovveday/steemit-crypto-academy-season-3-beginners-course-task-3-bitcoin-cryptocurrencies-and-public-chain-homework-task-of-lovveday) was one of them. I also made a few post in the season 4 of the Crypto Academy intermidate level, which this [post](https://steemit.com/hive-108451/@lovveday/nft-markets-crypto-academy-s4w3-homework-post-for-imagen) was among the few post I published. i had the intentions to write as much crypto academy task as possible but that urge seems not to be possible as I had activities that took my time to study for the academy ![20220113_132256_0000.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ848tpBqk3WKuEjCGjcA8MBGHNzMhjmr78wW5zTTebkv/20220113_132256_0000.png) ### WHAT WORKED WELL FOR THE ACADEMY

• The Beginners Introductory Courses

as a greeter, I invite newbies to the Crypto Academy, some of which states that they had no ideas on cryptocurrency and crypto related subjects. but with these introductory courses, the had the opportunity to study without fear of expiry. the beginners introductory courses also gave them the opportunity to benefit from the crypto academy too. it was a beautiful experience.

• The Voting Percentage

the voting percentage that was introduced in the steemcrypto academy was also great. where beginner tasks worth x1% vote from Sc01 account, intermediate task worth x2% vote fro. Sc01 account and the advanced tasks were worth x3% vote from Sc01 account. it was a fair judgement and it worked well.

• The Topic Taught Are Well Explain

a good teacher should be able to carry his students along, and they did. I understand every topic they taught, atleast the class I attended. ![20220113_132256_0000.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ848tpBqk3WKuEjCGjcA8MBGHNzMhjmr78wW5zTTebkv/20220113_132256_0000.png) ### WHAT DID NOT WORK WELL? for me, What did not work well were.

• The new compulsory 150 steem power up

The 150 compulsory power up that was included in the steemit crypto academy was a barrier for many old and new members who were aspiring to join the season five of the steem crypto academy. THE CLUB5050 was not much a barrier for newbies because they just started their crypto journey. Basically, it is evident that the number of people that participated in the season five of the steem crypto academy was less than the number from previous seasons because of the discouragement that the compulsory 150steem power up brought I think the 150 steem power up should be reduced.

• Ratings/grading

Although the steem crypto academy professor where trying their best to make sure that they rate crypto academy post fairly but it just appears that they could not. Some good post were rate poorly for unnecessary reasons such as “you did not centralize your photos”. No mistake was tolerated even when it was evident that the mistake was purely an accident. The professor should be ready to review all what the student wrote to check if he wrote out of point or just added to the knowledge the professor already have

• Strict rules to buy tokens of a particular worth to fully complete an assignment task and it was rampant on the beginner’s task.

I see it that beginners should not be under strict rules to buy a particular token to perform a question. Those questions should be optional, who did will be rate accordingly (given an extra mark for doing it) and who didn’t will be rated accordingly too (given their full mark but no extra). They should be failed. ![20220113_132256_0000.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ848tpBqk3WKuEjCGjcA8MBGHNzMhjmr78wW5zTTebkv/20220113_132256_0000.png) ### HOW YOU WOULD IMPROVE THE ACADEMY? I would improve the academy firstly by giving freedom to the students to express what they have learnt from the professors class in form of their assignment class and all student should have the opportunity to give a rating and review on the professors they took on their course during that season. This way, there might be check and balance between professors and students. ![20220113_132256_0000.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ848tpBqk3WKuEjCGjcA8MBGHNzMhjmr78wW5zTTebkv/20220113_132256_0000.png) ### WHAT CHANGES WILL YOU MAKE FOR THE FUTURE SEASONS OF THE ACADEMY The first change I will bring to the next season of the steem crypto academy is to removing the compulsory 150 steem power up for only newbies so that they can also participate in the steem crypto academy. With this move, the number of participants in the steem crypto academy will go on the increase again. ### WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE MARKING SCHEME FOR ACADEMY POSTS? AND THE REWARDS AVAILABLE? Like is said previously, the professors give rates randomly, its not their fault as there are a lot of people that are waiting for rates and review, what the professor will see as a mistake for on post and give a low rating, he might see in another post and assume to be a mistake and still give a good rating in another post, forgetting he has already give a poor rating to the former. These things happen to m to eve as a curator/greeter fairy. That’s why i try to keep in mind and on paper what exactly we are looking for in a post, If i can see all complete, i give full rating, but if not, i wont give a full rating. **I want to point out this fact:** someone from America or from india cannot properly judge the grammer of a person living in maybe Nigeria or Russia. The language barrier or pronounciation/spelling barrier will act up. ##### YOU CAN ALSO TELL US WHAT YOU ENJOYED MOST, AND WHAT YOU LEARNT FROM THE ACADEMY. What I enjoyed most Was the suspense I get whenever it was weekend, I am always anticipating what will be the next topic to be discussed or taught. I also love it when I get a good rating for my sleepless night. ##### HAS THE ACADEMY INSPIRED YOU TO CONTINUE LEARNING MORE ABOUT CRYPTO SUBJECTS? IF SO, HOW AND WHERE HAVE YOU EXTENDED YOUR CRYPTO LEARNING? The academy has taught me more than I already know. I think there is nothing about crypto tha the academy has not touched. From coins, airdrops, wallets, Nfts down to exchanges **Has the Academy inspired you to start trading in crypto currencies? If so, which ones?** Before the crypto academy, I have been trading and am still trading. I bought some coins like civic coin, when I saw it was falling, I exchanged I to Usdt then to steem which I transferred to my wallet months back and I powered it up. AM GLAD AM ABLE TO AIR MY VIEWS. THIS FEEDBACK IS NOT DIRECTED TO ANYONE BUT IT WAS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND OTHER POST I GOT TO READ THAT’S HOW I CAME UP WITH THIS FEEDBACK. THANK YOU FOR READING THROUGH.
