+The following guide is not intended as a comprehensive guide on how to teach classes. There is no one absolutely correct way and in time everyone develops their own style. The aim of the guide is to help a new teacher prepare for their first classes and also to pass on some hints and tips for running classes successfully.
-Please make sure you have also read [[Joining The Faculty]] and [[How to schedule a class]]
 For those who like executive summaries, we can summarise this approach as:
+* Scedule your class on forums&calendar
 * Prepare for what you want to cover
 * Prepare for what you might need to cover

+==Becoming a Teacher in the first place==
+===EVE University members===
+'''Any member of EVE University is welcome to hold a class.'''
+That being said, there are some practical considerations:
+* unexperienced teachers should defenitely reach out to the [[Teaching_Department#Current_Staff|Teaching Department]] first.
+* You need the [[Sophomore]] title in order to post events on the ingame calendar. If you lack this requirement, please reach out to the [[Teaching_Department#Current_Staff|Teaching Department]] so they can help you with sceduling and because your possible lack of game experience could compromise the success of the class.
+* You need the role of Teacher in discord in order to be able to stream, yet another reason to reach out to the [[Teaching_Department#Current_Staff|Teaching Department]] first.
+* Unistas without the [[Sophomore]] status  should contact the [[Teaching_Department#Current_Staff|Teaching Department]] first.
+===Out-of-Corp Guest-Lecturers===
+* Guest-Lecturers are always welcome but should contact the [[Teaching_Department#Current_Staff|Teaching Department]] before arranging any Class-like content.
+* For Fleet related content (e.g Guest-FCing), please contat the  [[FC_Team|FC Team]].
+==Choosing a Class/Topic==
+===CORE Classes===
+In order to make teaching as accessable as possible and provide Students with the proper basic knowledge to find their way in New Eden, the [[Teaching_Department|Teaching Department]] offers a [[Classes|library of ready-to-teach CORE classes]]. Most new teachers are well advised to start their teaching career with one of those.
+===Other Classes===
+Diversity is the spice of life, which is why we encourage experienced and/or specialised teachers to develop and hold their own classes. To insure a certain amount of quality control, there are a few extra steps to consider though:
+* Don't let ''perfect'' be the enemy of ''good''. A decent class that get held and then improved upon is better than a perfect class that never actually happens.
+* We ask that you submit your class slides and/or practical instructions to the [[Teaching_Department#Current_Staff|Teaching Department]] at least one week ahead of your class.
+* Make sure you're willing and able to react to contructive feedback and adjust your preparation accordingly.

+===Ingame Calendar===
+Create a class announcement on the ingame EVE Uni calendar (provided you hold the [[Sophomore]] title, if not, see above) make sure to:
+* include [CORE], [Class], [Practical] or [Q&A] as a title prefix, followed by the name/topic of the class.
+* set the availability to "Corp" or "Alliance" (prefered), the default is private which will mean noone apart from yourself is gonna see the event on their calendar.
+* set a realistic duration which leaves time for questions in the end.
+* ensure that your class is not colliding with other classes. It's generally a good idea to leave at least 15-30 minutes inbetween classes so students can take a break and to avoid any overlaps.
+* include a short outline of the class and a forum link in the Description
