Communication Policy
Netiquette describes what you should or should not do if you want to get along with other Internet learners. Consult The Net: User Guidelines and Netiquette by Arlene H. Rinaldi.
The following is the netiquette statement for this course:
- As a member of the academic community, conduct yourself in person, in print, and online in a responsible way and in the spirit of courteous educational inquiry.
- Be courteous, even when you disagree, and always provide clear, logical support for your views.
- Clear communication of meaning depends entirely on your word choice and visuals, so choose your words and visuals carefully to communicate effectively with your audience.
- Avoid typing in all capitals because it is difficult to read and is considered the electronic version of "shouting."
- Abide by the policies of the College and the laws of the state and the country for electronic communication. The College policies are listed in the NVCC Student Handbook.
