Without | Without our faculty of volunteer teaching staff, Eve University could not exist. These players selflessly volunteer their time and effort to teach new players about the various carreer paths and options available in EVE. However, just as most UNI members eventually move on from Eve University, some of our Teachers also leave us. This is why we are constantly seeking Students and Graduates who are willing to step up and teach what they've learned to a new generation of UNI pilots. | ||
This article explains how you can become a UNI Teacher, what is expected of you if you teach, and what you can expect from Eve University in return. | |||

While players can get EVE advice from a variety of sources, only Eve University consistently teaches live in-game classes on all EVE subjects. If you feel that you're good at explaining things, teaching might just be for you! | ||
===What does being a Teacher mean? === | |||
Being a Teacher with Eve University means you spend some of your own (in-game) time helping other players by holding classes. While all classes are welcome, we are especially looking for teachers who will teach classes with regularity - even if it is only once a month. Being a Teacher in Eve University means people will also turn to you for advice, as new players recognise your efforts to help them and your knowledge in a certain field. If you like helping others, being a UNI Teacher can be a very rewarding experience. | |||
We expect UNI Teachers to follow our guidelines and procedures, as described here: | |||
* [[Guide to teaching classes]] | |||
===How do I become a Teacher?=== | |||
To become a UNI Teacher, you must first meet these qualifications: | |||
* '''Current UNI membership''' - if you are not currently in the UNI, then we you can be a Guest Lecturer, but not a Teacher or Professor - see below for more information | |||
* [[Titles_Within_Eve_University|E-UNI Student or Graduate title]] earned | |||
* '''Willingness to help''' - a genuine desire to help and assist new players in Eve University | |||
* '''Availability''' - you must be willing and able to teach at least one class per month | |||
* '''Demonstrated experience or expertise''' in one or more aspects of EVE - you need to know something about what you are teaching! | |||
* '''Ability to teach''' - you will need to show us that you can communicate effectively to groups of people and conduct classes | |||
If you meet these qualifications, and wish to become a Teacher, your first step will be to become a Probationary Teacher. This is basically a trial period for a new teacher. First, contact the [[Director of Education]] or [[Training Manager|Teaching Manager]] to receive access to the teacher forum. This forum contains guides for new teachers, class syllabi and a lot of other useful information. | |||

To be able to teach classes you will need to submit your class notes to the Training Manager or Training Director for approval. The best way to do this is by sending the notes in a private message on the forums. The class notes should describe both the structure and contents of the class you plan to teach. We always leave the choice of topic up to the teacher, but we do have a [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Category:Syllabi standard curriculum] (collection of class topics) that always need teaching. Once your class notes have been approved, you can schedule the class on a time and date convenient for you. We prefer that one or more experienced teachers sit in on the class of probationary teachers, although if none are available a class can be held without them. | To be able to teach classes you will need to submit your class notes to the Training Manager or Training Director for approval.
