#REDIRECT [[Teaching Classes at EVE University#Scheduling your class]]
EVE University encourages those who wish to contribute to our student community to teach classes or organize educational events.
 
 
 
== Basics ==
 
 
 
'''While most classes are taught by E-UNI [[Joining the Faculty|Teachers]], any member of EVE University with [[Sophomore]] status or higher is welcome to schedule a class.'''
 
 
 
'''''Note: ''' If you are NOT an E-UNI [[Joining the Faculty|Teacher]] or [[Joining The Faculty#Becoming_a_Guest_Lecturer|Guest Lecturer]], and you've never conducted a class for E-Uni before, you should contact the [[Teaching_Department#Current_Staff|Teaching Department]] before scheduling your class.''
 
 
 
See the [[Guide to teaching classes]] for further information about planning your class.  Although we don't have any formal requirements requiring anything be submitted for pre-approval, you should follow these guidelines in order to ensure a successful class.  Especially:
 
* Prepare an outline of class notes in advance - look into the UNI [[:Category:Syllabi|Syllabus Library]] for examples and content you might want to borrow.
 
* Anticipate and prepare for questions.
 
* Arrive early, start your class on time, and be respectful of your students' time.
 
 
 
Also, please keep in mind that you are representing the University to the rest of New Eden by teaching a class. Thus, we may on rare occasions request new lecturers to provide some proof of ability or knowledge before allowing their first class to go ahead. However, since we want to encourage as many people as possible to get involved and help with the University's core mission, this is a fairly uncommon occurrence.
 
 
 
== Practical Classes ==
 
 
 
With prior arrangement with the UNI [[Teaching Manager]], Guest Lecturers may lead UNI fleets as the fleet commander, if they have +5 or better standing to the UNI, or if they are willing to be set +5 or better for the duration of the class, ''and'' these fleets do not violate any [[EVE University Rules]].  Note also that the UNI also has a special [[Guest Fleet Commander Program]], if you simply want to lead a fleet operation or roam with UNIs.
 
 
 
== Class scheduling and administration ==
 
 
 
*Try to schedule your class at least one week in advance, to give people a chance to hear about your class, and make time in their schedule to attend.
 
*Check the [http://calendar.eveuniversity.org/ UNI calendar] for available dates/times.  Do NOT schedule a class at the same time of any other class or event.
 
*Post an advert as a new topic in the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=72 Scheduled Classes] section on the forums, using the standard format described below. If you do not have access to this forum, please ask the [[Teaching Manager]] to do this for you. Certain syllabi may also have forum templates available.
 
*In the in-game calendar, post an Alliance event, using [[Using_the_Eve_University_Calendar|this procedure]]. It is best to not mark event as important, as the event will be marked as "classified" in the calendar feed and students will be unable to see anything about it. If you do not have access to the UNI in-game calendar, please ask the [[Teaching Manager]] to do this for you.

If you need to postpone a class, please mark the original class as [CANCELLED] and create new posts for the new time on the forum and in-game calendar.
 
 
 
*If you reschedule or cancel a class on short notice (e.g. within 7 days), please notify one of the [[Teaching Manager|Teaching Managers]] so they can update the Classes.E-UNI mailing list.
