General thoughts

For this week, a total of 138 homework posts were submitted and as your Crypto professor, I did my job and I can confidently say that I managed to review all your articles in order to keep all my students motivated all through this learning process. If I haven’t reviewed your week-5 homework article, kindly drop a link to it on this homework summary article and I will attend to it as soon as possible.

The good news is that last week, I did not register any cases of plagiarism in my homework task. Hopefully, because the homework task was more of a practical one; or the Crypto students have now become good Steemit citizens who have chosen to work ethically for the good of steem.

The given homework task was about creating a tutorial guide on how to use any one of the highlighted web3 DeFi wallets(Myether wallet, Meta Mask, Argent wallet, Coinbase Wallet). The first sample of homework task posts I received, I realized that most of the Crypto students were just talking about how to download the wallet application and creating/opening up an account.

Its one thing to create an account, but it’s also another thing to know how to use that wallet account application, therefore, it was not enough to just create an account. I expected every student to go further than that, by exploring the various features of the wallet application as they educate themselves about every basic feature that’s within their wallet application for a better experience.

The key features and aspects I was looking out for were; sending and Receiving tokens, how to deposit (buy) and withdraw tokens, how to add custom tokens, how to Swap tokens, how to link up your wallet to the DeFi platforms etc. You were meant to explain and demonstrate your work with well edited screenshots.

Some of the crypto students did exceptional work and these are my top 3 selected articles that really deserve an extra reward.

Eliminate the grammar errors in your articles by using Grammarly.

Use the word counter to calculate/weigh up the number of words used in your article to see to it that you produce a much better article with enough content ranging between 300words – 1000words.

Ensure to do enough research work on what is required of you in the homework task. Absorb (seek to understand) the information in your research, so that you can be able to creatively answer the homework task clearly in your own understanding and writing style. Remember, originality is key, and that’s part of what will fetch you higher rewards.

Use a smallseotools plagiarism checker to self-check your content to ensure that it’s free from plagiarism. Remember you have a blogging reputation to build which you also need to safe guard, therefore, you have got to keep your content in proper check.

Ensure to keep your content more focused on the main subject of the homework task so that you make it easier to review. Being precise and clear about the subject makes me think that this person really did the research and certainly well informed of what he is talking about.

Always format your articles by breaking down any huge paragraphs of your article into smaller readable ones. The maximum line of words in any of your paragraphs should be around 8. Anything beyond that, kindly create another paragraph for it and in so doing you will make your work more organized and appealing to the reader. You can also learn and apply some markdown styling formats in your article.

Make some unique graphics for your content. You can use powerpoint, Canva.com, illustrator, etc to design for yourself some original images and infographics. By doing so, you will have made your article more appealing to the readers.
