Netiquette

Netiquette rules 

1. Before posting your question to a discussion board, check if anyone has asked it already and received a reply. Just as you wouldn’t repeat a topic of discussion right after it happened in real life, don’t do that in discussion boards either
2. Stay on topic – 

   ---

   Don’t post irrelevant links, comments, thoughts, or pictures
3. Don’t type in ALL CAPS! If you do, it will look like you’re screaming
4. Don’t write anything that sounds angry or sarcastic, even as a joke, because without hearing your tone of voice, your peers might not realize you’re joking
5. Always remember to say “Please” and “Thank you” when soliciting help from your classmates
6. Respect the opinions of your classmates. If you feel the need to disagree, do so respectfully and acknowledge the valid points in your classmate’s argument. Acknowledge that others are entitled to have their own perspective on the issue
7. If you reply to a question from a classmate, make sure your answer is accurate! If you’re not 100% sure when the paper is due, DO NOT GUESS! Otherwise, you could really mess things up for your classmates and they will not appreciate it
8. If you ask a question and many people respond, summarize all answers and post that summary to benefit your whole class
9. Be brief. If you write a long dissertation in response to a simple question, it’s unlikely that anyone will spend the time to read through it all
10. Don’t badmouth others or call them stupid. You may disagree with their ideas, but don’t mock the person
11. Be careful when dealing with emails from unknown sources
12. Just because it’s free, it doesn’t mean it’s safe
