Netiquette+930+&+932+Fall+08

**Goal: Come up with 10 + /- rules of netiquette we can agree upon as norms for our class.**
Here are some that I use...

1. Be respectful of others in the course. Comments that are rude or belittle others will not be tolerated. Foul language will not be tolerated.

2. Please do not use all capital letters. This gives the impression of shouting. A single word in all caps to show emphasis is OK but not whole sentences.

3. This is a professional educational atmosphere. Posts and e-mails should be treated as such. Please refrain from using abbreviations that are common with instant messaging. These may not be understood by all students in the course.

4. Please follow standard rules of English as it pertains to capitalization and punctuation. Also be sure to double check your spelling. Smilies and other emoticons are OK.

5. Sending spam e-mails or chain letters to others in this course would be very disrespectful and will not be tolerated.

6. Be sure to use your first and last name and not an on-line "handle". This will best assure that we know who we are talking with.
