Netiquette Guidelines
"Netiquette" is a term describing how to interact with others in an online environment, such as on a discussion board or in emails. I expect all of these guidelines to be followed by everyone in the course. It is my expectation that you will follow these guidelines:
- You should participate in the learning activities, such as discussions and group tasks.
- As you encounter errors or glitches, report them to me so that I can address them and let your course mates know of the solution.
- When you type, you want to be concise and stay on the topic of the communication.
- All writing (papers, emails, discussion posts, etc.) should use proper writing style.
- You are expected to respect the diversity inside and outside of this classroom.
- It is important to avoid YELLING! in your written communications.
- In discussion boards, you should avoid repetition.
- Write in ways that avoid plagiarism by citing your sources.
- Using emojis and texting lingo can be confusing and convey the wrong message.
- Criticism should be constructive and and articulate.
