Communication within the Academic Environment

• Although you can log into the course from the
  comfort of your own home or anywhere, when you
  enter the classroom and seminar, you are entering
  an academic environment of higher learning where
  professionalism is expected.  Neither Class nor
  seminar is a Chat Room where anything goes. 
  Please keep in mind the following in your online
  courses.
• Proper grammar, spelling, punctuation using
  Standard American English (No text language or
  inappropriate language)
• Address people by name
• Be polite and respectful of fellow learners and
  the Professor
• Understand and follow all Netiquette rules
  (course syllabus)

Communications (continued)

• Emails
• Students are not permitted to send mass emails to
  the entire class it is unwanted email and a
  violation of the Code of Conduct.
• If you have any questions, you the student are to
  email the professor directly. If you do not ask
  questions how will you know the proper answer
• Sending emails to the entire class is only
  permitted to be done by the professor (that is
  why the function is there it cannot be blocked
  for one and not all)
• Please ensure when sending emails to anyone,
  proper grammar and spelling are used and that you
  address the person by name or title (See Writing
  Center for Email Dos and Donts)

Poll Time!

• Throughout seminar, I may do a poll.

  question, and below you will have choices to
  select.
• The purpose of polls is to reinforce key
  information that I feel is important for you to
  know.
• Please do not type your answer in the class
  activity box for everyone to see.
• The polls are completely anonymous, no one knows
  who votes how (including me), so dont worry if
  you dont get one rightits ok)
