Netiquette & Civility in the Online Classroom

1. do not flame, send ,sham or type in ALL CAPS

1.1. Writing a text in all caps can come across as shouting and inappropriate

2. Be Respectful

2.1. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you do not agree with it, do not be bashful. Respectfully state your opinion.

3. Stay On Topic

3.1. Every week there will be a new topic. Students are intended to engage and discuss the topic at hand on a weekly basis. Yes, you can make personally connections but not too personal where you become off topic.

4. Reading Is Key

4.1. There will always be resources that students can read to get a further understanding on the weekly topic. As a student, it is your duty to obtain information by researching and asking your professor questions.
