What is Netiquette?

Netiquette refers to using common courtesy in online communication. All members of the class are expected to follow netiquette in all course communications. Use these guidelines:

Use capital letters sparingly. THEY LOOK LIKE SHOUTING.

Forward emails only with a writer's permission.

Be considerate of others' feelings and use language carefully.

Cite all quotations, references, and sources (otherwise, it is Plagiarism).

Use humor carefully. It is hard to "read" tone; sometimes humor can be misread as criticism or personal attack. Feel free to use emoticons like :) for a smiley face to let others know you are being humorous.

Use complete sentences and standard English grammar to compose posts. Write in proper paragraphs. Review work before submitting it.

Text speak, such as "ur" for "your" or "ru" for "are you" etc., is only acceptable when texting.
