Academy Page
It is recommended to create student's own "academy page", as a subpage of your talk, i.e. User talk:Example/CVUA/Example.

You are free to teach however you like - the goal is that the student will have demonstrated knowledge and use of all the points in the syllabus

Trainers' methods

 * User:Callanecc/CVUA/Tasks.
 * User:Jianhui67/CVUA/Tasks
 * User:Kudpung/Anti vandal centre
 * Suggested methodology and tasks

Task-based teaching is the most effective. Students should not be deeply immersed at the beginning but should be sufficiently challenged.
 * Please explain below the difference between a good faith edit and a vandalism edit, and how you would tell them apart.
 * Please find and revert three examples of good faith but unhelpful edits, and three examples of vandalism. Please warn the editors with the correct template and give the diffs of your revisions below.

Warning and reporting

 * Please answer the following questions
 * Why do we warn users?
 * When would a 4im warning be appropriate?
 * What should you do if a user who has received a level 4 or 4im warning vandalises again?
 * Please give examples of three warnings that you might need to use while vandal patrolling and explain what they are used for.
 * Find and revert some vandalism. Warn each user appropriately, using the correct kind of warning and level. Posts the diffs of those warnings below.
 * Find an edit which could be a test edit and revert it. Warn the user with the most appropriate template, then post the diff below.
 * Report 2 users to AIV and post the diffs below. Be sure to follow the guidelines and only report users where necessary; do not report simply for the sake of this task.
 * Why do we deny recognition to trolls and vandals?
 * How can you tell between a good faith user asking why you reverted their edit, and a troll trying to harass you?
 * In what circumstances should a page be semi-protected?
 * In what circumstances should a page be fully protected?
 * In what circumstances should a page be speedy deleted?
 * Correctly tag one page for speedy deletion and post the diff below.
 * Correctly request the protection of one page (semi, salt or full); post the diff of your request (from WP:RPP) below.
 * Report 2 users whose username violates the username policy to UAA.

Graduation

 * Callanecc has a template with an example message here.
