We are keen to ensure that all contributions to the Steemit Crypto Academy are of as high a standard as possible. While the Crypto Professors may set specific requirements for some of their homework tasks we would suggest all students follow these basic guidelines… * Title the post with the format - **Your Title - Crypto Academy / S5W8 - Homework Post for [name of Crypto Professor]** * Homework posts should be at least 300 words * All work should be your own - **plagiarism will not be tolerated** * Any graphs, screenshots, quotes etc used from other sources should be fully referenced * Any images used should be from copyright-free sources and fully referenced * Homework posts should include the tag #cryptoacademy and **the tag specifically required for each homework task in the first five tags**. Posts should also include a tag for your country. * Tag the relevant Crypto Professor to help them find your homework post. -- **For Season 5 only people actively, and successfully, participating in #club5050 (or higher) will be eligible to take part in the Crypto Academy homework tasks.** To take part in #club5050 you must be powering up at least 50% of your earnings, and over the previous 30 days, any cash-outs or transfers must be matched by equal or greater power-ups. You must also not be powering down, nor using any vote buying or bid-bot services, nor delegating to any ‘investment services’ or bid-bots. **PLEASE NOTE - we reserve the right to reduce the vote of anyone not following the rules of #club5050 correctly, so make sure you are familiar with the requirements and check your balances with https://steemworld.org/transfer-search.** Anyone doing #club75 or #club100 may receive additional votes from @steemcurator01, although these votes are not guaranteed. --- **PLEASE NOTE - To take part in the Academy you must have powered up a minimum of 150 STEEM in the past month.** --- **Please make sure you send your homework posts into the Crypto-Academy community…** * https://steemit.com/trending/hive-108451 **Homework posts should be submitted no later than 11.59pm UTC, on Saturday, January 8th, 2022.** --- **Please check each Professor’s post carefully for any special instructions they have given for their homework task. Once you have completed your homework post make sure you leave a link on the Professor’s post to ensure they see it.** Following all these guidelines carefully will help you gain higher vote rewards for your homework posts. --- The Crypto Professors will be on the lookout for plagiarism, content farming and other forms of abuse. Anyone found doing any of these will risk being banned from the Crypto Academy. --- --- We hope you have all enjoyed Season 5 of the Crypto Academy.
