What is the etiquette of the Discussion Board?
Discussion Board etiquette is no different than classroom etiquette. In other words, treat your classmates with respect, period. To allow for orderly learning and discourse, students are to follow the rules of online courtesy, including refraining from use of sexist, racist, off-color, or demeaning language or behavior, sometimes referred to as “flaming.” This is a college course and student vocabulary and word choice should be appropriate to a college classroom. Students will stay on-topic, handling non-class related matters over off-line posts.
