Respect and courtesy must be provided to classmates and to instructor at all times. No harassment or inappropriate postings will be tolerated. Such activities are against University regulations and will be referred to the Dean of Students for possible disciplinary action.
Do not use inappropriate language, all capital letters, mixed capital and lower case letters, smileys, or other inappropriate language short cuts.
Online entries should be written in Standard English with edited spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
When reacting to someone else’s message, address the ideas, not the person. Post only what anyone would comfortably state in a face-to-face situation.
Be sure to read everyone’s responses before posting. Avoid repetition of what someone else has already said. Add something new to the discussion!
No credit will be received for yes/no answers. Posts should justify positions and provide specific examples.
Students must demonstrate that they have read the assignment and their classmates’ comments carefully and thoughtfully.
Be sure to post in a timely fashion to receive credit for the discussion. Late postings will not receive full credit. Pay close attention to the posted deadlines.
Facebook and your web portfolios are public Internet venues; all postings should be considered public. Students should have no assumption of privacy for anything posted anywhere on line.
