Course Communication Policy

You may expect a response to any email inquiries from your instructor(s) and/or coach(es) within twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours. You may expect feedback on course assignments within seventy-two (72) hours.

Course Communication Guidelines (Netiquette)

Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online. Much of our communication in this course will take place in the forums and through email. Here are some guidelines for online communication in this course:

· Be sensitive to different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, as well as different political and religious beliefs.

· Use good taste when composing your responses. Swearing and profanity should be avoided. Also consider that slang terms can be misunderstood or misinterpreted.

· Don’t use all capital letters when composing your responses. This considered “shouting” on the Internet and is regarded as impolite or aggressive. It can also be stressful on the eye when trying to read your message.

· Be respectful of others’ views and opinions. Avoid “flaming” (publicly attacking or insulting) others.

· Be careful when using acronyms. If you use an acronym it is best to spell out its meaning first, then put the acronym in parentheses afterward, for example: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). After that you can use the acronym freely throughout your message.

· Use good grammar and spelling, and avoid using text messaging shortcuts.

· In emails, always identify yourself and what class and section you are in. It is a good practice to put your course and section in the subject line. This helps your instructor identify course related emails.
