General Class Expectations

My number one goal is to help you learn the material, so please let me know me if you have questions or if anything is unclear. My contact info is on the course home page.

Online Class Netiquette

Your learning is important! That is why we are here.
Remember that everything you share/post may have been saved in the network server.
Your are taking a college course. Anything inappropriate in a traditional class applies the same way in an online class.
Your success is important. Plan your weekly schedule.

General Discussion Board Guidance

Behind every post is a person; please respect your classmates and their opinions.
Communications will mainly be via discussion board posts. This online modality makes it difficult to recognize some types of humor--especially sarcasm.
Sometimes the things we write may be read by someone else in a way other than intended. Please give people the benefit of the doubt.
Be aware that typing in capital letters is usually interpreted as shouting.
Be careful with humor or sarcasm. They can be misunderstood.
Double check what you've written for clarity.
If you see something you think is inappropriate, please reach out to me.
