Steemit Crypto Academy | Summary On Homework Task(Season 2)- Week 7

Background

The Homework Task Week-7(Season 2) draws to a close on 29th May 2021. During the last week, we witnessed as many as 37 entries.

I would like to congratulate all who participated and submitted their assignments during this week.

This week we covered-- Liquidity Mining in Tron Network-- Sun.io. I hope you all now have a better insight into the practical side of Liquidity Mining, particularly how to maximize rewards by staking LP tokens.

Those who participated this week in Homework Task-7 are well-informed now with Liquidity Mining in Sun.io and how to get 6 different tokens as mining rewards, schedule of mining, distribution, etc.

The users have also developed a better understanding of resource consumption while interacting with dApps like Justswap, Sun.io, etc.

I hope Week 7 was productive, persuasive, informative, and educative for you all.

Steemit Crypto Academy is helping you all to bridge the gap between concept and gaining experience, particularly for naive users; thereby inducing practical intelligence. The tasks are designed & structured in a way to make you familiar with the practical exploration of a use-case. In essence, you gain real experience, and you earn as well in Steemit Crypto Academy.

I would like to convey my gratitude to the Steemit Team for coming up with such an idea and organizing a team for that cause, fostering crypto literacy.

In the last six days, I have visited all the posts that have been submitted with the correct tag( #sapwood-s2week7, #cryptoacademy). So I would request all the participants to make sure that they use the correct tags and that should be among the first five tags. And also make sure you post in the Steemit Crypto Academy community.

Observation & Thoughts

We found 37 entries in the last week(Week-7). I have visited them all. 100% of them were original content, and that's a big achievement to draw such a contour in the crypto academy.

This week was purely a practical exploration of Liquidity Mining in Tron Network(Sun.io) to make you familiar with the practical implication of a transaction's cost(Bandwidth & Energy) when you "stake" or "obtain LP tokens" or "redeem rewards". You also explored how you can maximize the rewards with your LP tokens-- along with the exchange fee share from Justswap, the same LP token can be utilized for Liquidity Mining in Sun.io.

Those who have performed a real transaction in this Task have scored well to get an upvote that would cover the fees(or TRX burned to accommodate the required Energy) they incurred in the entire process. Nevertheless, all of you have gained first-hand information and experience with Sun.io & Justswap.

_{The simple average score for Week 7 (#sapwood-s2week7) is "7.56"}

The average overall quality has greatly improved as compared to the previous week. And the Week-over-Week figure projects a rising contour.

Organized writing and a curated directory of organized articles on the Trending page will also add fundamental value to Steem Blockchain & Steemit Crypto Academy. It's a continuous process and we must evolve as organized authors every day/every week through such Tasks/assignments.

This week we observed that a few participants did not mention the Tron Wallet Address(used for the Task) at the beginning of the post(this is required only in those cases when they used a wallet Address other than Steem integrated Tron Wallet). So I would request all to read the guidelines before submitting your assignment.

Further, if you have forgotten to include the Wallet Address, then please be responsive and reciprocate with the follow-up comments, so that the curation can be done in a timely manner.

Always go through the rules/guidelines/deadline before submitting your assignment.

I would like to highlight a few areas which need to be addressed.

• In a practical task, you always have to provide a lot of screenshots. At times your article becomes heavy and too noisy. So you should always capture a screenshot that is really needed for the subject, neither too much, nor too little. You should crop and adjust the outer edges so that it brings the attention of the readers and becomes clearly visible & readable.

• Always outline and emphasize the specific areas in a way that it takes less effort for the readers/curators to decipher.

• If you are using different styling techniques, make it consistent with its style and color.

• Any watermark or your username on the screenshot should not be too big.

• Proper alignment of the screenshot always feels professional.

Further, I would also request our participants to avoid redundant words/sentences. Please note that an excessively lengthy post is always a turn-off, you might not score better with such an approach. Short, sweet, concise post always wins the attention, in Crypto academy, your approach should be to the merit of the Task, subject, and its requirement. Always try to be precise & make your approach straight to the point, make it less noisy.

I would also request, before hitting the submit button, please read it at least once/twice. Proof-reading is necessary. You can also use the Grammarly app for proof-reading.

The level of engagement is very poor. We want our participants to visit other's posts and produce insightful comments, make it an interactive session. At present only the professor is interacting with the participants. The student-to-student interaction is missing. We can't build an interconnected web and better content discovery without engagement. I request all of you to visit other's posts.in Steemit Crypto Academy.

Further, always pay attention to the grammar/spelling, proper formatting to highlight the key areas, use markdown styling to present it in a professional way, which always attracts the attention of the reader/curator. If you do that on a day-to-day basis you also evolve as a professional blogger in the long run.

Try to bridge the gap between "what you know" and "How you deliver" in a Task. In time, you will get better with consistent effort & perseverance.

Statistics & Evaluation

Here is the stat of the 37 entries in Homework Task-5(Season 2)

Total Entries- 37

Insufficient information to curate- When a user does not provide the Wallet Address used in the Task and/or does not reciprocate with the follow-up comments.

I have evaluated all the entries on the basis of the following parameters:-

• Proper representation of a task
• Whether covered all the sub-parts of an assignment or not
• Real Transaction to demonstrate Liquidity Mining
• Proper formatting
• True representation of the text/subject(with illustration/screenshot)
• Grammar/Spelling
• Free of Spam/Plagiarism.
• Adhering to the laid rules or not
• Proof-Reading
• Original content

Of the 37 entries, I found the following three as the best entries this week.

S No	Author	Post Link	Remarks
1	@wahyunahrul	Link	An outstanding article by the author, in line with the requirements of the Task. The author is excellent in emphasizing/indicating specific areas of the screenshot to explain, easy for the readers/curators to decipher. The author is quite organized in writing and presentation.
2	@uchescrib	Link	The author demonstrated Liquidity mining in line with the requirement of the Task. The article produced by the author is less noisy and the screenshots are placed in order, easy for the readers to understand.
3	@dharamps	Link	The author has worked a lot in demonstraing with the screenshots, outlining/emphasizing the specific areas to make it easy for the reader to understand.

_{NB- Selection of a winner may not be absolute, most of the time, it is based on the relative performance. As long as you focus on all the sub-parts of Homework Task and gain sufficient user experience, include real examples & analysis, you stand better to win it.}

Conclusion

We all are committed to creating an enriched communication environment, organizational interactions, etc which is a precursor to building a foundation of crypto literacy. The right information and education should percolate down the line and the PoB will come along to reward you(extrinsic motivation).

We will try our best to structure a task to draw real-life experiences for you, to motivate you for sustained attention to the task/academy. The participants should also reciprocate in line with the Task requirement, particularly if it demands a real trade/transactions/experience. Healthy participation and effective discussion are key to the overall success of the crypto academy.

We will also try our best to reinforce the principle of collectivism/democracy (but always on the basis of performance) through the crypto academy.

The crypto academy is also an avenue to learn to reason and to find & explore the passions and talents of the users in this ecosystem.

Gain as much user experience as you can. But always be your own. Don't hesitate to write what you have understood(even if you are wrong), We will take care of corrections if needed. The most important thing at the end of the day is what you learned.

The take-home message-- Develop a relationship with dApp/Exchange(or as the Task demands), Learn, Experience, Perform a real Trade, Analyze; then submit your assignment. This is the ideal path to economic advantage(upvote) & crypto literacy.

Thank you.
