#### Homework Guidelines<br><br>

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 23rd, 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 !
