CPI Class Instructor

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

The responsibilities of a CPI Class Instructor are split into two main areas: being a live instructor and working on creating videos. If you’re accepted as a CPI class instructor, you can choose to teach live classes or create videos or both. Please ping/DM trisha0025 or 7777777.777777 on Discord (https://discord.gg/VCxUzdYhzN) once you have applied. Live Instruction Instructors will teach live, online classes for students in the Bronze and Silver divisions of USACO. Each class consists of 9 two-hour sessions. You don’t have to be available for the full 9 weeks, though it is preferred. You can earn 3 volunteer hours per session (2 hour session + 1 hour prep time). Video Creation Instructors will create video classes for CPI’s self study classes. Videos will consist of solutions to selected competitive programming problems as well as lectures on competitive programming topics. Requirements: Bronze instructors for live classes should be in USACO Silver or higher Silver instructors for live classes should be in USACO Gold or higher Since the CPI self study classes support both C++ and Java, instructors doing video creation are required to be familiar with both of these languages There are no division requirements for instructors creating videos

USACO.Guide Content Author

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

As a Content Author, you’ll help write content (modules, problem solutions, etc) for the USACO Guide. You will also have the ability to submit Code Reviews for incoming Pull Requests. Pull Requests you make will have a streamlined approval process. Note: You do not have to be a content author to contribute to the USACO Guide! You can continue submitting Pull Requests without being an official team member. Please ping/DM SansPapyrus683, notcryan, or eys on Discord (https://discord.gg/VCxUzdYhzN) once you have applied. Guidelines: Expect to put in at least 1-2 hours a week. Submit (on average) at least 1-2 substantial Pull Requests a week. Examples of "substantial" changes: Changes to existing pages that are more than just a typo fix Internal problem solution pages (Must include brief editorials. Code with neither explanations nor comments does not count.) Tagging problems, adding (video) resources, adding incomplete sections, adding quizzes. This is a rough guideline and won’t be strictly enforced, so don’t worry if you don’t meet this from time to time. Submitting Code Reviews for Pull Requests count too; however, make sure your review is thorough. Submit a Weekly Progress Report Google Form detailing your activities for the week. Super brief form -- just link to any PR’s you’ve made/reviewed and estimate how many hours you spent. You may earn volunteer hours for the time you spend writing content. We will review PR’s to make sure that reported hours are reasonable :) If you’re unable to meet the time commitment from time to time (due to school tests, vacation, USACO contests, etc), that’s fine -- just make sure to let us know. Please "self-retire" when you know you won’t be able to actively contribute anymore in order to preserve the health of the community. You can always change your mind and rejoin later. In the application Google Form, link to two Pull Requests you have made to the USACO Guide (must be "substantial" as described above), and should not have needed major changes from our team members. These Pull Requests will serve as your application. There are NO division requirements. We do not consider your current division or skill level as part of the application process; we only look at the quality of the Pull Requests you submit.
