Item Netiquette Statement

net n. an abbreviation for internet         
netiquette n. proper or polite behavior on the internet

Communication is very important in this course. To maintain a positive online environment, each of us is expected to follow these netiquette guidelines.   Be advised that rules for student conduct apply in the online environment. Any use of electronic communication on Tri-C’s network, which includes Blackboard, Tri-C email, etc. for flaming or other kinds of harassment may be treated as a student conduct violation under the Student Conduct Code (accessible via My Tri-C Space on the Student Services tab).

  • Show respect for the instructor, other students, and for the privacy of those in the online environment.  Nothing threatening is ever appropriate.
  • Express differences of opinion in a polite and rational way, maintaining a supportive academic environment.
  • Stay focused by avoiding irrelevant topics in discussion or collaborative activities
  • Use proper capitalization and punctuation rules.  Use of all uppercase in a message is the equivalent of shouting and is considered offensive.
