Hello Steemians, today I am please to share with you all about my feedback on how the previous Cryptoacademy season 5 was like. Learning there said is a continue process that never ends. Season 5 Cryptoacademy lesson has come and gone and now is the time for each and everyone that participated to give his/her feedback. In this case let's get started..

What worked well with the Academy

my main line.JPG

First and foremost, I thank all the professors that participated in the Season 5 Cryptoacademy lesson for the effort that their put in place making sure that students get to understand their lessons before they can submit. A lot of things worked well with the season 5 Academy lessons starting from the fixed inyorductory course, beginner course, intermediate and advance level course all work well.

  • The fixed introductory course, really worked well as it has no expiring date as to when a students can submit their assignments which is a very wounderfu decision that was put in place in the last season. So many newbies got the change to participate in the introductory courses because it has no expiring date which their really learned and achieved a lot from the fixed introductory courses.

  • The grading system that is used by professor's to grade students also worked well in the academy. The grading system that was carried out in the academy was not based on how large a students homework is but rather it was based on the following criteria like; what the content is talking about if it correspond with the topic or the question that is asked, the use of markdown tools,and the type of English that is use in the content were all checked by professor's before grading students and it all worked well with the academy.

  • The Introduction of powering up of 150 SP in the last 1 month also worked well with the academy. Powering up of 150 SP in the last 1 month make a lot of students to start investing for themselves as today now they can boast of having at least 500 - 1000 SP in they account. All students that refused to power up 150 SP in a month eliminate themselves from the academy season without professor telling them what to do. The 150 SP make a lot of students to reduce the way they do cashout their fund simply because they want to participate in academy.

What's not working well?

No matter how good an organization structure is there must be some areas that are not working well just like in the season 5 academy lessons a lot of challenges were encountered by both students and professor. In a nutshell, some of the things that didn't work well are discuss below.

  • Some students contents are wrongly label as plagiarised contents without been checked properly by professor's and once a student post is found to be plagiarised content the students can't defend his/herself and before the student will release Endplagiarism will just come in place. So to this I think a students should be allow to defend his/her content within a period of 24 hours before such a student content can be label as plagarised content. The issue of wrongly detecting students for plagarism has eliminated a lot of students wrongly from participating in the Cryptoacademy lesson which need to be look into.

  • Some professors make mistake when checking if a students is in #club5050 or not and due to their mistake the content of such a student will not be curated, making the effort of the student to be in vain.

  • Some professors homework task is too difficult to accomplish, in some cases a professor will give a homework task that require students to make use of at least $15 which is sometime too high compared to what the student will gain from doing the assignment.

  • Another thing that don't work well is grading an assignment without been curated.Some professors do grade their students assignment a day to the deadline of the post pay out, whereas a professor like @sachin08 will grade assignment on time but still yet even with the grading the assignment will not be curated by #steemcurator02 until the student make a repost of the assignment before it can be curated.

  • The academy was too full with rules and regulations like the minimum amount of Steem power that one need to have before he/she can participate in the academy and also the #club5050, #club75 and #club100 did work well to me. The reason is that a student that is in #club5050 shouldn't be given the same reward with someone that is in #club75 and #club100 there should be a different way of rewarding the three of them so it can encourage students to upgrade their club.

How you would improve the Academy ? What changes would you make for future seasons of the Academy?

  • The first thing that I would do to improve the Academy is to respond to the comments of students on my assignment. Good interaction between students and professor is what make students to learn and understand fast simply because their questions are been answer at the right time. As a student ones you discovered that a professor gave and assignment and you drop a question on concerning the assignment and you then discover that your question wasn't attended to or it was attended late you will feel sad about it. We can see that once professor @sapwood drop his assignment a lot of students will be asking questions and be happy about it because he do attend to them one after the other.

  • Secondly to improve the Academy, I will make sure that any content that I found to be of plagiarism the author would be allow to defend his/herself within 24 hours of my discovery before I seriously deal with the writer by banning him/her from participating from my assignment if his/her defend isn't genuine.

  • I will make sure that the use of #club5050,#club75 and #club100 will be optional for my student. Any students that is among any of the club will scoure a greater mark than the student that is not among in any of the club.

  • My marking scheme will be base on three criteria which are language structure, proper use of markdown tools and if the assignment is inline with what I asked. Doing this will not only improve the Academy but will improve the standard of the academy as it will make students not to rush and post their assignment without previewing and checking if their is errors or not.

What changes would you make for future seasons of the Academy?

my main line.JPG

If we noticed a lot of students has left Cryptoacademy lesson to register in other social media platforms, because of the too many rules an regulations that is not only in the academy but the entire Steemit community which is affecting the price of Steem. We can see that as of earlier last year around March when Cryptoacademy was not full with a lot of rules and regulations the price of Steem was high compared to what it is today. In my case what I would do for the future seasons of the academy is to allow those that has been muted/baned from participating in the academy to be giving another chance to participate in this coming seasons.

What did you think of the marking scheme for Academy posts? And the rewards available?

my main line.JPG

I think that the marking scheme for Academy post and the rewards available should be base on certain criteria that a student need to get before he/she is to be awarded with mark. As I have earlier say that if am to be a professor I will look into these three criteria ; language structure, proper use of markdown tools and if the assignment of the students is in accordance with the questions that is been asked. I think these three things should be what a professor need to look at in the assignment of academy post before marking the student. Although, the marking scheme which is based on 5marks and above is okay, but I think there should be a fair balance when dealing with somethings like there should be a little compensation of rewards for any students that score below 5 marks.

Enjoy, Learning, Inspiration from academy.

Ever since I started learning in Cryptoacademy I have never regreted my time and effort even if my assignment scored is below 5 marks, I still enjoy the research that I carried out, the assignment of other students that I read included that of the professor. Academy has inspired me a lot when it comes to blockchain technology. It's from academy that I came to know about Shitcoins, Alvachin, Status, how one can create his own cryptocurrency, the best trading timeframe and how to filter out false signal and many more that I cannot even mention are all what I learned from academy.

Today, I am enjoying my cryptocurrency Investment Strategy from the lesson that I learned from academy, all this wisdom and inspiration comes from academy. The day I learned about arbitrary trading I really enjoyed the class because I put it into practice and it worked so well for me. It's with academy that my Steem power is about 2k today. So in a nutshell, academy has helped me a lot and I enjoyed participating in a academy that I wish it should not go on break. Infact academy resume back because you're the only community that gives one joy on steemit platform.

Conclusion:

I'm for ever grateful to Cryptoacademy community and all the Moderators that are working tirelessly to make sure that the academy keep on growing faster and big. Cryptoacademy is a very interesting and wounderfu community that teach you a lot of things concerning blockchain, cryptocurrencies and a lot more for free. So instead of you as a student paying for the lesson you earn rewards from the lesson by doing assignment which is so sweet and wounderfu.
