Season 4 of the Steemit Crypto Academy is now into its 8th week. This week we have another full set of courses for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced levels. All the courses are open to anyone meeting the minimum requirements for the relevant level. The [ten Introductory courses](https://steemit.com/hive-108451/@steemitblog/steemit-crypto-academy-update-september-6th-2021-season-4-beginners-level-introductory-courses) are available for anyone who has completed at least Level 4 of the Achievement Tasks in the Newcomers Community with the required Reputation and Steem Power. --- --- ### #Club5050 Participation and Homework Voting

We are very keen to encourage everyone in the Steemit Crypto Academy to participate in #Club5050. By powering up more and cashing out less, people can help grow their influence on Steem and help grow the Steem economy. This week therefore, for the Intermediate and Advanced levels we are going to give higher votes for those successfully participating in #club5050, and lower votes for those that are not. See below in the relevant sections for details. For those doing the Introductory courses, and for those doing Beginners level homework tasks, there will be the opportunity to earn additional bonus rewards for those successfully participating in #club5050. The full rules for participation in #club5050 to get extra votes on your homework posts can be found in this @steemitblog post… * [**Communities of the Month Support Program - Applications for November**](https://steemit.com/communities-202111/@steemitblog/communities-of-the-month-support-program-applications-for-november) **PLEASE NOTE - There have been many people this past week using the #club5050 tag with no sign of participation through powering up. This wastes considerable time for the curators unnecessarily checking wallets. Therefore for anyone ‘tag spamming’ like this, we reserve the right from now on to reduce the votes given on their homework posts. Please use the #club5050 tag wisely !** --- --- ### Beginners Level Courses

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 / S4W7 - 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. --- **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, October 30th, 2021.** --- **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 will all enjoy Season 4 of the Crypto Academy. There may be tweaks as the weeks progress. Make sure you check @steemitblog regularly for any changes to the rules. People are welcome to do as many homework tasks each week as they are qualified for. They can also move up a level as they grow their reputation and SP. And people in a higher level can also do the lower level weekly homework tasks as well. Have fun and learn ! _The Steemit Team_
