The Steemit Crypto Academy is now into the second week of Season 2.
We hope you have enjoyed meeting some of the new professors - we have the rest of the new team members for you to get to know this week.
We are definitely seeing the standard of the homework posts improving week by week.
However some people are still trying to cheat the system by posting plagiarized work.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated in the Crypto Academy. Our detection methods are getting better every week, and our penalties are getting more severe.
Do the research, produce your own work, do not plagiarize other people’s content, and you will be rewarded.

Homework Guidelines
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 10 - 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…
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.
New Voting Rules for Season 2
To encourage people to do more research and put more effort into producing higher quality homework posts @steemcurator02 will now only be voting on posts that achieve a grade of 5 out of 10 or above from the Professor.
Additionally to discourage ‘content farming’ from multi-accounts set up purely to harvest votes from the Crypto Academy @steemcurator02 will only consider giving votes on homework posts submitted by people with reputations of 45 or above.
If you are new to Steem we suggest you join the Newcomers Community and do the Achievement Tasks there to get to know the platform and build up your reputation before joining the Crypto Academy…
The Steemit Crypto Academy community
The Crypto Academy community is ONLY for posts to do with the courses being run by the Crypto Professors…
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.
In this second season of the Academy we will be putting a greater emphasis on improving the quality of the homework posts.
We will also be putting even more resources into curbing plagiarism, content farming and other abuse.
We are keen for the Steemit Crypto Academy to provide a high quality learning opportunity for those willing to put in the effort to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world of cryptocurrencies.
Thank you
The Steemit Team

Hey! Since there is no separate post about the new editor, I will write here. I really liked the new editor and I'm sure you already know about some bugs ...
But maybe you will think about adding a translator to the new editor?
I know this is possible. My husband was a programmer and created a chat with Google translator. It was very convenient.
I wrote a post yesterday about a new editor with my suggestion.

Thank you so much for that, and I think we need a smooth transition and also it would be wonderful if we can have a toggle/button to enable or disable the editor.
Thank you.
Steem on.
That'd be very great. I hope they do that

This post came at the right time and I think we can stick to the old editor....legit idea from @steemitblog

Thank you for bringing the old editor back. The new one had a bunch of useful features but the bugs outweighed its usefulness. Especially, in the case of mobile users. Gues now I'll get a few fewer complaints about the editor from the members of the BOI community.
Exactly ;)
This is a very nice post. You made the post with a very good idea. Your post will touch everyone's mind. Especially attracted my mind. Your post has been much, much better. You have explained the meaning of your writing in a very simple way. That's why I like it even more. Thank you so much for posting that.
