Netiquette

Netiquette is important when emailing your instructor and your fellow students.

Follow the guidelines that are listed below for all email sent in this class:

1. Be clear. Use standard English and do not abbreviate. Spell check, revise and edit your messages before sending them. Use appropriate subject lines that reflect the content of the message.


2. Be polite and careful. Do not use ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS!!! or multiple exclamation marks, as it is sometimes difficult to understand the tone of the message. Similarly, avoid sarcasm and irony, which can be misinterpreted by the reader.


3. Be inclusive. Send group messages to all members as well as to the instructor to ensure that all lines of communication stay open.
