Mental Health and Wellness

“Life at college can be very complicated. Students often feel overwhelmed or stressed, experience anxiety or depression, struggle with relationships, or just need help navigating challenges in their life. If you’re facing such challenges, you don’t need to handle them on your own–there’s help and support on campus Biomedical Ethics.

As your instructor if I believe you may need additional support Biomedical Ethics, I will express my concerns, the reasons for them, and refer you to resources that might be helpful. It is not my intention to know the details of what might be bothering you, but simply to let you know I care and that help is available. Getting help is a courageous thing to do—for yourself and those you care about.

Our student health center helps students cope with difficult emotions and life stressors Biomedical Ethics. If you need general resources on coping with stress or want to talk with another student who has been in the same place as you, you may book online via this link.

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 Biomedical Ethics 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 Biomedical Ethics.
• 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.
