We are now moving into week 7 of the Steemit Crypto Academy. It looks like you are all enjoying the courses as the number doing the homework tasks just keeps going up every week. Because of the growing popularity of the Crypto Academy we are now looking to add to the team of Crypto Professors. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in becoming a Steemit Crypto Professor look out for the recruitment post that we will be posting in the next few days. We will be particularly interested in potential Professors that are from countries not already represented in the team. Participation and performance in the homework tasks will be one of the factors we consider in the recruitment process so if you are interested in applying make sure you get well into the tasks set by the Professors this week. --- --- ### The Steemit Crypto Academy Courses - Week 7

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 - **Crypto Academy Week 7 - 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 any tag specifically required by the Crypto Professor in the first five tags. It will also be good to 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 --- **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 Steemit Crypto Academy community

The Crypto Academy community is now **ONLY** for posts to do with the courses being run by the Crypto Professors… * https://steemit.com/trending/hive-108451 Alongside the course posts from the Crypto Professors, the only other posts in the Steemit Crypto Academy community should be homework posts for the tasks set by the professors. **Please do not post general crypto related posts now in the Steemit Crypto Academy Community. Any non-Academy posts may be muted.** --- --- We hope as many of you as possible will join in with the Steemit Crypto Academy courses and do the homework tasks set by the Crypto Professors. You are free to follow as many of the courses as you want. We will be giving votes from @steemcurator02 for good homework posts once they have been checked by the Professors. If a Professor has not visited your post after 2 days you might want to leave a polite reminder comment on their post. --- You can also help grow the Steemit Crypto Academy by telling your friends about it and sharing the courses on your social media. And if you know any crypto content creators do encourage them to come along and get involved. We will be on the lookout for more Crypto Professors soon. Thank you _The Steemit Team_
